He left! He left without paying me, after I found him the finest of horses.

Now another ship has come. They drag it to the shore. It is the fourteen children. They have come to give thanks for their deliverance. They will make a monument for this ship. It is the ship that Theseus sailed. Every year they bring it to Delos for the festival. Here they do the dance of the cranes. Theseus laments the loss of Ariadne. He has come to envoke the aid of the gods.

They worship here at the ancient alter of Apollo. Theseus offers a wooden godess that Ariadne brought from Crete.

He is claiming that Athena bid him to abandon Ariadne on the shore of Naxos and sail to Athens. He had meant to return for her after making repairs on his ship. The winds were against him. In his distress he forgot to change the sail. Now his grief stricken father is dead and he, [Theseus] rules as King.

It is all here: the alter with the rams horns that Artemis dedicated to her brother,the monument for the ancient battleship, the wooden godess that Ariadne brought from Crete. There is the mosiac where the dance of the labyrinth began. All these riches are still here and are evidence of a long and distant past.

My pockets remain empty, for I never got paid. I am only an eye witness, and this is my testimony.
