Aradan y\u0131llar ge\u00e7ti. Babas\u0131n\u0131 hi\u00e7 g\u00f6rmeden b\u00fcy\u00fcd\u00fc Theseus.

B\u00fcy\u00fckbabas\u0131 koca bir gemi haz\u0131rlatt\u0131, yan\u0131na adamlar verdi. Anla\u015f\u0131lan \u00e7abucak \u00fcn kazanmak istiyordu. Theseus, deniz yolunun kolay, tehlikesiz oldu\u011funu ileri s\u00fcrerek Atina\u2019ya kara yoluyla gidece\u011fini s\u00f6yledi. Akl\u0131nda hep Herakles vard\u0131.<\/p>\n

Kendi ba\u015f\u0131ndan da tehlikeli ser\u00fcvenler ge\u00e7sin, ad\u0131 b\u00fct\u00fcn \u00fclkelere yay\u0131ls\u0131n istiyordu. Annesiyle b\u00fcy\u00fckbabas\u0131n\u0131n yalvar\u0131p yakarmalar\u0131 sonu\u00e7 getirmedi.

Theseus\u2019un b\u00fcy\u00fckbabas\u0131n\u0131n s\u00f6yledikleri do\u011fruydu. O zamanlar Yunanistan\u2019\u0131 soyguncular sarm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Yolcular\u0131 her kaya ard\u0131nda, her a\u011fac\u0131n g\u00f6lgesinde bir tehlike beklerdi. Soyguncular\u0131n en \u00fcnl\u00fcleri Skiron, Sinis, bir de Prokrustes\u2019ti.<\/p>\n

Skiron, yakalad\u0131\u011f\u0131 yolcuya ilk \u00f6nce ayaklar\u0131n\u0131 y\u0131kat\u0131r, sonra onu bir tekmeyle kayalardan a\u015fa\u011f\u0131, denize f\u0131rlat\u0131rd\u0131. Sinis, birini yakalad\u0131 m\u0131, hemen iki \u00e7am a\u011fac\u0131n\u0131 yere e\u011fer, zavall\u0131n\u0131n bir aya\u011f\u0131n\u0131 bir a\u011faca, di\u011ferini \u00f6teki a\u011faca ba\u011flar, sonra \u00e7amlar\u0131 b\u0131rak\u0131verirdi. Yolcu hemen par\u00e7alan\u0131rd\u0131 tabii. Prokrustes\u2019in adam \u00f6ld\u00fcrmesi ise ba\u015fka t\u00fcrl\u00fcyd\u00fc. Demirden bir yata\u011f\u0131 vard\u0131 bu soyguncunun.

Yatakla t\u0131pat\u0131p ayn\u0131 boyda olan birine rastlay\u0131p rastlamad\u0131\u011f\u0131 bilinmiyor.<\/p>\n

Theseus, yoluna \u00e7\u0131kan b\u00fct\u00fcn soyguncular\u0131 \u00f6ld\u00fcrd\u00fc. Skiron\u2019a ayaklar\u0131n\u0131 y\u0131katt\u0131, sonra bir tekmeyle u\u00e7urumdan a\u015fa\u011f\u0131 yuvarlad\u0131. Sinis\u2019i, iki \u00e7am a\u011fac\u0131n\u0131n aras\u0131na gererek parampar\u00e7a etti. Prokrustes\u2019i de kendi yata\u011f\u0131nda do\u011frad\u0131. Yunanistan da soygunculardan, haydutlardan temizlenmi\u015f oldu.<\/p>\n

Bu kahramanl\u0131k b\u00fcy\u00fck bir \u00fcn sa\u011flad\u0131 Theseus\u2019a; b\u00fct\u00fcn \u00fclke onun ad\u0131yla \u00e7alkalanmaya ba\u015flad\u0131. Delikanl\u0131, Atina\u2019ya vard\u0131\u011f\u0131 zaman Kral Aigeus kar\u015f\u0131lad\u0131 onu. Kar\u015f\u0131s\u0131ndakinin kendi o\u011flu oldu\u011funu bilmeden saray\u0131na \u00e7a\u011f\u0131rd\u0131, bir \u015f\u00f6len verdi. Bir yandan da Theseus\u2019un \u00fcn\u00fcnden korkuyor, taht\u0131n\u0131 elinden al\u0131r diye i\u00e7i i\u00e7ini yiyordu. Medeia da saraydayd\u0131 o zamanlar. Korinthos\u2019dan ka\u00e7arak Atina\u2019ya gelmi\u015f, Aigeus\u2019un g\u00f6nl\u00fcn\u00fc \u00e7elmi\u015fti. B\u00fcy\u00fc yoluyla, Theseus\u2019un kral\u0131n o\u011flu oldu\u011funu \u00f6\u011frenmi\u015fti. Delikanl\u0131, kendisiyle Aigeus\u2019un aras\u0131n\u0131 a\u00e7ar diye \u00e7ekiniyordu. Gidip krala \u201cBu adam\u0131 \u00f6ld\u00fcrsen iyi olacak,\u201d<\/em> dedi, \u201cbelki, senin yerini almaya kalkar. En iyisi \u015f\u00f6lende onu zehirle, kurtul.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u015e\u00f6len s\u0131ras\u0131nda Aigeus, i\u00e7ine zehir damlat\u0131lm\u0131\u015f bir i\u00e7ki sundu Theseus\u2019a. Theseus, barda\u011f\u0131 dudaklar\u0131na g\u00f6t\u00fcrece\u011fi s\u0131rada durdu; art\u0131k krala, onun o\u011flu oldu\u011funu g\u00f6sterme s\u0131ras\u0131 geldi\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnecek ki, k\u0131l\u0131c\u0131 k\u0131n\u0131ndan \u00e7ekti. Kar\u015f\u0131s\u0131ndaki delikanl\u0131n\u0131n o\u011flu oldu\u011funu anlayan Aigeus, hemen f\u0131rlay\u0131p barda\u011f\u0131 kapt\u0131 ve i\u00e7kiyi yerine d\u00f6kt\u00fc. Sonra Medeia\u2019y\u0131 arad\u0131 g\u00f6zleriyle. Ama Medeia ortalarda yoktu, yine arabas\u0131na atlad\u0131\u011f\u0131 gibi ka\u00e7m\u0131\u015f, bu kere de Asya\u2019ya gitmi\u015fti.<\/p>\n

Aigeus, Theseus\u2019un kendi \u00f6z o\u011flu oldu\u011funu bildirdi Atinal\u0131lara: \u201cBen \u00f6ld\u00fckten sonra kral\u0131n\u0131z o olacak,\u201d<\/em> dedi. Halk, b\u00f6yle yi\u011fit bir delikanl\u0131n\u0131n ileride tahta ge\u00e7ece\u011fine \u00e7ok sevindi. K\u0131sa s\u00fcre sonra Theseus, yi\u011fitli\u011fini yeniden g\u00f6stermek f\u0131rsat\u0131n\u0131 buldu.<\/p>\n

Theseus\u2019un Atina\u2019ya var\u0131\u015f\u0131ndan y\u0131llar \u00f6nce, Girit kral\u0131 Minos, o\u011flu Androgeos\u2019u Atina\u2019ya yollam\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Atina kral\u0131 Aigeus, yap\u0131lmayacak bir \u015fey yapm\u0131\u015f, Androgeos\u2019un azg\u0131n bir bo\u011fay\u0131 \u00f6ld\u00fcrmeye g\u00f6ndermi\u015fti. Umuldu\u011fu kadar kahraman \u00e7\u0131kmam\u0131\u015ft\u0131 Androgeos, bo\u011fa taraf\u0131ndan par\u00e7alan\u0131vermi\u015fti. O\u011flunun \u00f6l\u00fcm\u00fcn\u00fc duyan Minos, k\u00fcplere binmi\u015f, ordusunu pe\u015fine takarak Atina\u2019ya gelmi\u015f \u00fclkeyi ele ge\u00e7irmi\u015fti. \u201cB\u00fct\u00fcn \u015fehri yerle bir ederim,\u201d<\/em> demi\u015fti, \u201cyaln\u0131z dokuz y\u0131lda bir bana yedi gen\u00e7 k\u0131zla yedi delikanl\u0131 g\u00f6ndermeye s\u00f6z verirseniz sizi ba\u011f\u0131\u015flar\u0131m.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Atinal\u0131lar\u0131n ellerinden ne gelir, s\u00f6z vermi\u015flerdi Minos\u2019a, her dokuz y\u0131lda bir yedi gen\u00e7 k\u0131zla, yedi delikanl\u0131 g\u00f6ndereceklerdi Girit\u2019e. Giritliler de on d\u00f6rt genci Minotauros diye an\u0131lan korkun\u00e7 canavarlar atacaklard\u0131.<\/p>\n

Minotauros yar\u0131 insan, yar\u0131 bo\u011fa bir yarat\u0131kt\u0131. Minos\u2019un kar\u0131s\u0131 Pasiphae do\u011furmu\u015ftu onu. Poseidon, kendisine kurban edilmesi i\u00e7in bir bo\u011fa vermi\u015fti Minos\u2019a. Minos, zavall\u0131 hayvana ac\u0131m\u0131\u015f, onu bir t\u00fcrl\u00fc \u00f6ld\u00fcrememi\u015fti. Buna \u00e7ok k\u0131zan deniz tanr\u0131s\u0131, Minos\u2019un kar\u0131s\u0131n\u0131 bo\u011faya a\u015f\u0131k edivermi\u015fti. Bu a\u015fk\u0131n sonunda da Minotauros do\u011fuvermi\u015fti i\u015fte.<\/p>\n

Minos, do\u011fan yavruyu da \u00f6ld\u00fcrememi\u015fti. \u00dcnl\u00fc mimar Daldalos\u2019a bir labyrinthos yapt\u0131r\u0131p Minotauros\u2019u oraya b\u0131rakm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Karmakar\u0131\u015f\u0131k yollardan meydana gelen bir yerdi buras\u0131, oraya giren bir daha \u00e7\u0131kamazd\u0131. Giritliler, Atinal\u0131lar\u0131 labyrinthos\u2019a b\u0131rak\u0131rlar, zavall\u0131 gen\u00e7ler de \u00e7\u0131k\u0131\u015f yolunu bulamadan Minotauros\u2019a yem olurlard\u0131.<\/p>\n

Theseus, Atina\u2019ya vard\u0131ktan birka\u00e7 g\u00fcn sonra Girit\u2019e on d\u00f6rt gencin g\u00f6nderilece\u011fini \u00f6\u011frendi. Babas\u0131na, \u201cB\u0131rak\u0131n ben de gideyim bu gen\u00e7lerle birlikte,\u201d<\/em> dedi, \u201cbelki Minotauros\u2019u \u00f6ld\u00fcr\u00fcr\u00fcm.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Babas\u0131 \u00f6nce kabul etmedi bunu; ama o\u011flu \u00fcsteleyince kar\u015f\u0131 koymad\u0131. \u201cOlur\u201d<\/em> dedi.<\/p>\n

Gen\u00e7leri g\u00f6t\u00fcrecek gemi limandan ayr\u0131l\u0131rken Theseus, \u201cBaba,\u201d<\/em> dedi, \u201cbu geminin yelkenleri kara. E\u011fer ben canavar\u0131 \u00f6ld\u00fcr\u00fcr de Atina\u2019ya d\u00f6necek olursam bu kara yelkenler yerine beyaz yelkenler \u00e7ektiririm.

Sonra \u00f6p\u00fc\u015f\u00fcp ayr\u0131ld\u0131lar.<\/p>\n

Kar\u015f\u0131layanlar aras\u0131ndan Girit kral\u0131 Minos\u2019un k\u0131z\u0131 Ariadne de vard\u0131.

Bunu \u00f6\u011frenen Ariadne\u2019nin i\u00e7i sevin\u00e7le doldu.

Theseus raz\u0131 olmaz m\u0131 buna, kurtulursa Ariadne\u2019yle evlenece\u011fine s\u00f6z verdi.<\/p>\n

Ertesi g\u00fcn labyrinthos\u2019a girilecekti. Theseus, Ariadne\u2019nin g\u00f6nderdi\u011fi y\u00fcn yumak ile kap\u0131dan girdi. \u00d6teki Atinal\u0131lar da arkas\u0131ndayd\u0131.

Atina\u2019ya d\u00f6nerken, Naksos adas\u0131na u\u011frad\u0131lar bir ara. Orada Theseus\u2019un Ariadne\u2019yi b\u0131rakarak ka\u00e7t\u0131\u011f\u0131 s\u00f6ylenir.

Baz\u0131 kimseler Theseus\u2019a yak\u0131\u015ft\u0131ramazlar bu davran\u0131\u015f\u0131. Onlara kal\u0131rsa, adada Ariadne hastalanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Theseus, k\u0131zca\u011f\u0131z\u0131 adada bir ma\u011faraya b\u0131rakm\u0131\u015f, baz\u0131 e\u015fyalar\u0131n\u0131 almak i\u00e7in gemiye d\u00f6nm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcr.

Bu ayr\u0131l\u0131klar bir yana, herkes Theseus\u2019un gemiye beyaz yelken \u00e7ekmeyi unuttu\u011fu konusunda birle\u015fmektedir. Ya Minotauros\u2019u \u00f6ld\u00fcrmenin yaratt\u0131\u011f\u0131 a\u015f\u0131r\u0131 sevin\u00e7ten, ya da Ariadne\u2019nin denizciler \u00fczerinde b\u0131rakt\u0131\u011f\u0131 \u00fcz\u00fcnt\u00fcden, gemi kara yelkenle d\u00f6nd\u00fc Atina\u2019ya. Kral Aigeus, g\u00fcnlerdir geminin yolunu g\u00f6zl\u00fcyordu. Uzakta beliren kara yelkenleri g\u00f6r\u00fcnce, o\u011flunun \u00f6ld\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn\u00fc san\u0131p kendini denize att\u0131. O sulara da Aigae (Ege) Denizi ad\u0131 verildi.<\/p>\n

Theseus b\u00f6ylece Atina kral\u0131 oldu. Ak\u0131ll\u0131 bir insand\u0131; \u00f6yle krall\u0131kta filan hevesi yoktu. Halk\u0131 toplayarak kendinin kral olmak istemedi\u011fini s\u00f6yledi. \u201cBen yaln\u0131z ba\u015fkomutan olarak kalmak istiyorum,\u201d<\/em> dedi. \u201cSiz kendi kendinizi y\u00f6netirsiniz.

Dediklerini de yapt\u0131. Atina her bak\u0131mdan ilerledi, rahata kavu\u015ftu.

O, sadece bir haks\u0131zl\u0131\u011f\u0131 ortadan kald\u0131rmak i\u00e7in gelmi\u015fti. Hak yerini bulunca da ordusuyla birlikte Atina\u2019ya d\u00f6nd\u00fc.<\/p>\n

Ba\u015fka \u00fcst\u00fcn davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131 da vard\u0131r Theseus\u2019un. Kimsenin yan\u0131na almak istemedi\u011fi ya\u015fl\u0131 Oidipus\u2019a o g\u00fclery\u00fcz g\u00f6sterdi. Oidipus \u00f6ld\u00fc\u011f\u00fc zaman da yan\u0131nda bulunuyordu; onun k\u0131zlar\u0131n\u0131 korudu, sa\u011f salim \u00fclkelerine g\u00f6nderdi.

Devlet i\u015fleri, Theseus\u2019un ser\u00fcvenden ser\u00fcvene at\u0131lmas\u0131na engel olmuyordu. Bir ara amazonlar \u00fclkesine gitti Theseus, oradan ka\u00e7\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131 Antiope ile evlendi. Baz\u0131lar\u0131 bu yolculukta Herakles\u2019in Theseus\u2019a arkada\u015fl\u0131k etti\u011fini, ka\u00e7\u0131r\u0131lan Amazonun ad\u0131n\u0131n da Antiope de\u011fil, Hippolyte oldu\u011funu s\u00f6yler.<\/p>\n

Kar\u0131s\u0131ndan, Hippolytos ad\u0131nda bir o\u011flu oldu Theseus\u2019un. Mutluluk i\u00e7inde ya\u015fay\u0131p gidiyorlard\u0131 ki, Antiope\u2019yi geri almak isteyen Amazonlar\u2019\u0131n sald\u0131r\u0131s\u0131na u\u011frad\u0131lar. Ama Theseus, onlar\u0131n da hakk\u0131ndan geldi. Attika\u2019y\u0131 d\u00fc\u015fmanlardan b\u00fct\u00fcn b\u00fct\u00fcne temizledi. Kendisi \u00f6l\u00fcnceye kadar art\u0131k hi\u00e7bir d\u00fc\u015fman ayak basamad\u0131 o topraklara.<\/p>\n

\u00dclkesine d\u00fc\u015fmanlar\u0131n gelmedi\u011fini g\u00f6ren Theseus, ser\u00fcven aramak i\u00e7in uzak \u00fclkelere gitti. Alt\u0131n Post\u2019u ele ge\u00e7irmek i\u00e7in \u00e7al\u0131\u015fan denizcilerin, Argonaut\u2019lar\u0131n aras\u0131na kat\u0131ld\u0131. Kalydon kral\u0131 \u00fclkesini \u00e7orak bir \u00fclkeye \u00e7eviren, ekinlerini mahveden yaban domuzlar\u0131n\u0131 \u00f6ld\u00fcrmek i\u00e7in yard\u0131m isteyince, Kalydon Av\u0131\u2019nda yer ald\u0131. Avda, arkada\u015f\u0131, Peirithoos\u2019un hayat\u0131n\u0131 kurtard\u0131 birka\u00e7 kere.<\/p>\n

Peirithoos \u00f6teden beri arkada\u015f\u0131yd\u0131 Theseus\u2019un. \u0130lk g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fte birbirlerini sevmi\u015flerdi. Daha aralar\u0131nda hi\u00e7bir ilgi yokken Peirithoos, gidip Theseus\u2019un s\u00fcr\u00fclerini \u00e7alm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. \u00dcnl\u00fc kahraman\u0131n, ard\u0131ndan geldi\u011fini duyunca, d\u00f6n\u00fcp onunla kar\u015f\u0131la\u015fmak, boy \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fc\u015fmek istemi\u015fti. Ama boy \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fc\u015fmek bir yana elini bile kald\u0131ramad\u0131 Theseus\u2019u g\u00f6r\u00fcnce. \u00d6yle \u00fcst\u00fcn, \u00f6yle yi\u011fit\u00e7e bir duru\u015fu vard\u0131 ki Theseus\u2019un, Peirithoos, \u201cSana k\u00f6t\u00fcl\u00fck etmek elimden gelmez,\u201d <\/em>dedi, \u201csu\u00e7umu biliyorum. Sen yarg\u0131\u00e7 ol. Verece\u011fin cezay\u0131 \u015fimdiden kabul ediyorum.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Theseus da ona bir yak\u0131nl\u0131k duymu\u015ftu. \u201cBenim arkada\u015f\u0131m ol, ba\u015fka bir \u015fey istemem\u201d <\/em>dedi. B\u00f6ylece aralar\u0131nda kopmaz bir arkada\u015fl\u0131k ba\u011f\u0131 olu\u015ftu.<\/p>\n

Peirithoos\u2019un kar\u0131s\u0131 bir s\u00fcre sonra \u00f6l\u00fcnce Lapitler kral\u0131 yeniden evlendirmek istedi. Bu sefer kendisine kar\u0131 olarak Persephone\u2019yi almay\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyordu. Theseus, arkada\u015f\u0131na yard\u0131m edece\u011fine s\u00f6z verdi, verdi ama, \u00f6nce kendisi i\u00e7in o zamanlar daha \u00e7ocuk olan Helena\u2019y\u0131 ka\u00e7\u0131rmak istedi\u011fini s\u00f6yledi.<\/p>\n

\u0130ki arkada\u015f bir olup Helena\u2019y\u0131 ka\u00e7\u0131rd\u0131lar; ama \u00e7ocukca\u011f\u0131z\u0131n iki a\u011fabeyi, Kastor ile Polydeukes; karde\u015flerini bulup geri ald\u0131lar. Theseus\u2019u yakalay\u0131p \u00f6\u00e7 almak i\u00e7in her yan\u0131 arad\u0131lar atad\u0131lar, ama bulmad\u0131lar. Atinal\u0131 kahraman arkada\u015f\u0131yla birlikte yer alt\u0131na inmi\u015fti \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc.<\/p>\n

Hades\u2019in tanr\u0131s\u0131, onlar\u0131n yer alt\u0131na ni\u00e7in indiklerini biliyordu. Yine de g\u00fcler y\u00fczle kar\u015f\u0131lad\u0131 iki arkada\u015f\u0131; yer g\u00f6sterip oturttu. Theseus da, Peirithoos da oturduklar\u0131 erden bir daha kalkamad\u0131lar. \u00d6l\u00fcler tanr\u0131s\u0131 bir oyun oynam\u0131\u015ft\u0131 onlara; ikisini de Unutkanl\u0131k \u0130skemlesi<\/em>\u2019ne oturtmu\u015ftu. O iskemleye kim oturursa otursun, her \u015feyi unutur, \u00f6yle kalakal\u0131rd\u0131. Theseus da, Peirithoos da kim olduklar\u0131n\u0131, yeralt\u0131na neden indiklerini bilmiyorlard\u0131 art\u0131k.<\/p>\n

Bir s\u00fcre sonra, Herakles yer alt\u0131na indi\u011fi zaman, Theseus\u2019u bu durumdan kurtard\u0131. \u0130skemlesinden kald\u0131rd\u0131 Atinal\u0131 kahraman\u0131 yer y\u00fcz\u00fcne \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131.

Y\u0131lar ge\u00e7ti, Hippolytos son derece yak\u0131\u015f\u0131kl\u0131 bir delikanl\u0131 oldu. Onun kadar usta avc\u0131, onun kadar h\u0131zl\u0131 ko\u015fucu hi\u00e7bir yerde bulunamazd\u0131. Yaln\u0131z bir kusuru vard\u0131 delikanl\u0131n\u0131n: a\u015fka inanmaz, bu y\u00fczden Aphrodite\u2019ye sayg\u0131 g\u00f6stermezdi. Tanr\u0131\u00e7alardan sadece Artemis\u2019i sayard\u0131.<\/p>\n

Bir g\u00fcn Theseus, yan\u0131na kar\u0131s\u0131 Phaidra\u2019y\u0131 al\u0131p o\u011flunu g\u00f6rmeye gitti. G\u00f6r\u00fcr g\u00f6rmez de kan\u0131 kaynad\u0131 Hippolytos\u2019a. Baba-o\u011ful birbirlerini \u00f6yle sevdiler ki, hi\u00e7 ayr\u0131lmaz oldular. Phaidra, Hippolytos\u2019un g\u00f6z\u00fcne bile \u00e7arpmam\u0131\u015ft\u0131.

Bu s\u00f6zleri duymak bile istemedi Hippolytos.

Sonra eve girdi.<\/p>\n

Birka\u00e7 dakika sonra Theseus bah\u00e7eye geldi. Bah\u00e7ede a\u011fla\u015fan kad\u0131nlar kar\u015f\u0131lad\u0131 kendisini.

\u201cBaba,\u201d<\/em> dedi Hippolytos, \u201ckonu\u015fmakta pek \u00f6yle usta de\u011filimdir. Phaidra\u2019ya elimi bile s\u00fcrmedim. Do\u011fru, tan\u0131k g\u00f6steremem. Tek tan\u0131k da \u00f6ld\u00fc \u015fimdi. Ama Zeus\u2019un \u00fcst\u00fcne yemin ederim ki, yan\u0131na bile yakla\u015fmad\u0131m kar\u0131n\u0131z\u0131n.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c\u00d6l\u00fcler yalan s\u00f6ylemez,\u201d<\/em> dedi Theseus. \u201cArt\u0131k s\u00fcr\u00fcld\u00fcn. Defol!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Hippolytos arabas\u0131na atlayarak oradan uzakla\u015ft\u0131. Yak\u0131nlarda bir deniz k\u0131y\u0131s\u0131nda ge\u00e7iyordu ki Poseidon, Theseus\u2019un dile\u011fini yerine getirdi. Koca bir canavar f\u0131rlad\u0131 dalgalar\u0131n aras\u0131ndan. Hippolytos\u2019un atlar\u0131 \u00fcrkerek gemi az\u0131ya ald\u0131lar. Arabadan d\u00fc\u015fen su\u00e7suz delikanl\u0131 par\u00e7alanarak yaraland\u0131.<\/p>\n

Kar\u0131s\u0131n\u0131n b\u0131rakt\u0131\u011f\u0131 mektuba ra\u011fmen Theseus\u2019un i\u00e7i rahat de\u011fildi. Hele Artemis gelip de, ona ger\u00e7e\u011fi s\u00f6yleyince ne yapaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 \u015fa\u015f\u0131rd\u0131.<\/p>\n

Yard\u0131m etmeye gelmedim sana, ac\u0131 vermeye geldim,
\nO\u011flunun su\u00e7suzlu\u011funu anlatmak i\u00e7in geldim.
\nKar\u0131n \u00e7\u0131lg\u0131nlar gibi tutkundu Hippolytos\u2019a,
\nTutkusuyla sava\u015f\u0131p \u00f6ld\u00fcrd\u00fc kendini,
\nYazd\u0131\u011f\u0131 sat\u0131rlar\u0131n hepsi yaland\u0131.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bunlar\u0131 duyduk\u00e7a ne diyece\u011fini bilemiyordu Theseus. O s\u0131rada i\u00e7eriye can \u00e7eki\u015fen o\u011flunu getirdiler.<\/p>\n

Hippolytos \u201cBen su\u00e7suzdum, Artemis,\u201d<\/em> dedi \u201cBak art\u0131k en usta avc\u0131lar\u0131ndan biri \u00f6l\u00fcyor.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSenin yerini kimse tutamayacak,\u201d<\/em> dedi Artemis.<\/p>\n

Delikanl\u0131 Theseus\u2019a g\u00f6zlerini \u00e7evirdi:<\/p>\n

\u201cBaba,\u201d <\/em>dedi, \u201cbu i\u015fte sizin de su\u00e7unuz yok.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSenin yerinde ke\u015fke ben olsayd\u0131m,\u201c<\/em> diye ba\u011f\u0131rd\u0131 Theseus.<\/p>\n

Tanr\u0131\u00e7an\u0131n sesi onlar\u0131n \u00fcz\u00fcnt\u00fcs\u00fcn\u00fc bir par\u00e7a olsun yat\u0131\u015ft\u0131rd\u0131:<\/p>\n

\u201cO\u011flunu kollar\u0131na al, Theseus. Onu \u00f6ld\u00fcren sen de\u011filsin. Aphrodite \u00f6ld\u00fcrd\u00fc onu. Ama \u015funu bil, o\u011flunun ad\u0131 hi\u00e7 unutulmayacak. Y\u0131llar y\u0131l\u0131 \u015fiirlerde, \u015fark\u0131larda hep anlat\u0131lacak Hippolytos.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Sonra ortadan kayboldu. O anda Hippolytos\u2019un can\u0131 da u\u00e7up gitti. Delikanl\u0131, Hades yoku\u015funu inmeye ba\u015flam\u0131\u015ft\u0131 art\u0131k.<\/p>\n

Aradan birka\u00e7 y\u0131l ge\u00e7ti. Theseus, arkada\u015f\u0131 Skyros kral\u0131 Lykomedes\u2019in saray\u0131na gitti. Bir s\u00fcre orada kald\u0131ktan sonra Lykomedes taraf\u0131ndan \u00f6ld\u00fcr\u00fcld\u00fc. Theseus\u2019un neden Skyros\u2019a gitti\u011fi, orada neden \u00f6ld\u00fcr\u00fcld\u00fc\u011f\u00fc pek bilinmiyor.<\/p>\n

\u00d6l\u00fcm\u00fcnden sonra, Theseus i\u00e7in koca bir mezar yapt\u0131 Atinal\u0131lar. Mezar, y\u0131llarca tutsaklar\u0131n, yoksullar\u0131n s\u0131\u011f\u0131na\u011f\u0131 olarak kullan\u0131ld\u0131.<\/p>\n

D\u00fcnya \u00fczerinde nefret, kin ve nank\u00f6rl\u00fck olduk\u00e7a tanr\u0131lar da olacakt\u0131r…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
