The Legend Of Jehoshapet : The Wandering Sword

One afternoon Theseus was in his room when a little note was slid under his door and it told him to go down to the courtyard the crack of dawn and so he did. It was princess Ariadne who was going to help him defeat the Minotaur, she gave him a magical string that would help find his way through the labryrinth, the giant maze made by Daedalus and a sword. The next morning they were going into the labryrinth. As soon as they were in, it was dark and wet with bones all around. Theseus told one of the Athenian children to hold one end of the string when he set off. Once Theseus was deep into the maze he heard a rumble and he knew that was Minotaur. He ran in to the Minotaur with sword at hand it gave out a big groan. Theseus cut through it a couple more times to make sure it was dead. With a sigh of relief he walked back. At the entrance Ariadne was waiting to open the door to let them out. When the Athenians got out and quickly got a ship to sail back, but Theseus forgot to fly white sails so once King Aegean of Athens through himself off a cliff because he thought his son had died. After his death they named the sea after him, the Aegean

Theseus, the newly found prince of Athens, embarks on several hero journeys including on against Minos’ Minotaur and the Labyrinth. Joseph Campbell’s representation of the hero’s journey fully encompasses Theseus’ narrative throughout his quest to defeat the Minotaur. Beginning with a call to adventure on through the crossing of the threshold and on to the reward and resurrection. Compared to Rank’s hero’s journey which includes a revelation and transformation with atonement, Campbell’s process fits more precisely to Theseus’ story.

Next Odysseus and his men go to the home of Aeolus, ruler of the winds. Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag containing all of the bad winds and stirs up a wind to send Odysseus and his men back to Ithaca. However, Odysseus' men thought that Aeolus had given Odysseus a bag of treasure and thought he wasn't going to share the treasure with them. When Odysseus falls asleep his men open the bag and the winds blow them away from Ithaca back to Aeolus. This time Aeolus will not help them because he believes the gods hate Odysseus. Now Odysseus and his men have to row to the land of the Laestrygonians, a race of powerful giants, who turn Odysseus' scouts into their dinner. Odysseus and his remaining men retreat to the ships, but the giants pelt the ships with boulders and sink them as they sit in the harbor. Only Odysseus' ship escapes.

Theseus is a youthful mortal who wanted only, but to know who his father is, so he inquired his mother, Aethra. Aethra had responded saying that his father was Aegeus, king of Athens, but the heart of Aethra truly belonged to the great Poseidon, god of the deep blue sea. Aethra bestowed a sharp, deadly, cold sword and a pair of sandals upon Theseus and she said, “Take them to him, and call him father.”, and, so Theseus went on a quest to find his father, Aegeus.

Odysseus is a strong warrior and he's courageous. When he was traveling on the island he was stopped by a cyclopes, he and his men lied about who they are and why they landed there, but the cyclopes didn't care at all, all he cared about was keeping them there on the island. When he grabbed two of the men, beat their brains out, dismembered them and ate them, Odysseus was gonna kill him right than and there but he remembered he couldn't move the rock that blocked the entrance. In the morning the cyclopes ate two more men, so when the cyclopes was gone the remaining men found a large club and made one end pointed. When the cyclopes came back Odysseus offered him some wine and got the cyclopes drunk. Odysseus then put the pointed end of the

Stepping carefully around a puddle tainted with horse manure, Pelagios looked back. He was torn between his duty and the urgent desire - no, need, to fish. Although it might sound silly to some, it made him feel closer to his father. And during times like these, he really needed that. Lately the gods have been silent. Demigods haven 't gotten any prayers answered from them or signs or anything. It was if the gates to Olympus had completely been shut and had no intention of opening soon - if ever, again. The demi-god meetings Chiron had recently insisted every demi-god attend bored him to tears. Each one he 'd been to followed the exact same path. A group of self-important youngsters, clearly fond of the sound of their own voices - especially the children of Apollo - made interminable speeches about how Diaeus 's actions in Egyptian Mythica were exceeding the remit granted to him. According to them, he did not have the authority to manage diplomatic relationships with Egyptian Mythica. Chiron, his mentor, Sophia, his sister, along with Alexandra, Diaeus 's sister, who supported Diaeus publicly - except for Chiron, who supported him privately, said little or nothing until the campers had fallen

They took advantage of me and have done terrible things to me. Will you do me a favor, and punish them severely. I came back to my cave from a day of hard work and I shut the door and spotted them in my reach. I was furious, and out of rage ate some of his men. Who is he you ask?, Odysseus, the king of Ithaca and his men who are on their return home from the Trojan War. Do you know who he is? First, he told me his name was “Nobody”, and I fell for it, what stupidity of me father. He gave me this drink called wine in which I passed out from. Later, I just awoken from immense pain, Odysseus and his

A hard storm at sea, breathed in by Ruler of the Salty Waters, caused Odysseus to swirl around in the crashing waves like a feather swirling in the autumn breeze. The wise sailor struggled to stay afloat while clinging to the debris of what used to be his ship, destroyed by Charybdis. Gulping for air, a devil wave swallowed him whole, pulling Odysseus down into the depths of its belly. Everything went black. When Dawn with her fingertips of rose painted the morning sky a blossoming gold, Odysseus sputtered the remaining salt water from his lungs. Sitting up, he sunk further into the mud beneath him, and felt the warm breath of the sun on his cheeks. Absorbing his surroundings, he instantly recognized this as the Island of Mihalia. With his

Finally they passed the swarm of sirens but worse wa to come, out of nowhere a winged beast with multiple heads soon attacked their ship and six men were lost. As they drew close to Helios’s island they saw a girl on top of a small island and she hurled lava towards the ship. Odysseus barely dodge the spits of lava and they finally saw man's desire, Helios’s Island. The men pleaded and begged if they set anchor for the dreamed island, but Odysseus said no and his men pleaded again. They finally broke Odysseus into saying yes, but only on one condition that they took an oath to not touch the cattle. They shortly arrived at the new island and were all pleased by the sights. Days later, the men were starving and so Eurylochus came up with a plan to kill the cattle because he would rather die full than die empty and so he encouraged the men to do the same. Odysseus stunned by what his men yelled at them to stop but they kept going and soon the gods were preparing for their revenge and Odysseus notice that the wind was finally in the direction of their home and with that he hollered at his men to get on the ship and so they obeyed and as they were sailing at high speeds Zeus struck them with a powerful bolt of lightning, with that hit all his men had died and the

It serves to continue the plot of the story by jumpstarting many parts along the hero’s journey, many times it is the cause of the hero’s unusual birth. The mystical weapon is what enables a hero to overcome the insurmountable odds and accomplish their trials. A mystical weapon, is not just a tool that the hero harnesses, but their very identity. The mystical weapon is the very thing that makes the hero a hero. The mystical weapon is an extension of the Hero’s self. It is their defining characteristic and the shining beacon that shows to their world exactly why they are special. A hero without their weapon is powerless, and becomes nothing more than a common man.
