PartXXII-Catullus64

Aegeus- The father of Theseus, King of Athens, saved him from the poisoned death by Madea because he recognized his sword that he had hidden under the rock. The Aegean Sea was also named after him.

Summary: Catullus says that Theseus had forgotten to tell his father Aegus that he had a safe journey, and told Theseus to return to him safely.
