Talk:Aegeus

The early third-century AD Life of Apollonius of Tyana conflates Aegeus with Poseidon in the phrase, put into the mouth of the philosopher Apollonius, "... that Aegaeon, the author of earthquakes, may never shake down their cities." (v.5). --Wetman 08:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Aegaeon was another name for the Hekatonkhire Briareus, who was so enormous, when he walked earthquakes happened.

"...and knocked the wine glass out of Theseus' hand." It's best to stick close to the written accounts rather than improvise in the manner of afternoon television confrontations. Can anyone tell me why this vivid detail is silly?--Wetman 00:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Clearly something is missing between this:

"Father and son were thus reunited, and Medea was sent away to Asia."

and this:

"Aegeus had told Theseus, before he left, to put up the white sails when he left Crete..."

There's no mention, prior to this, of Theseus leaving for anywhere, or going on a mission to Crete. The sentence even becomes ambiguous as to who is meant by the "he" in "heleft." zadignose (talk) 08:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
