Answer:

a Theseus grows up with his mother, unaware that he is King Aegeus's son. When he is strong enough, he lifts the stone under which Aegeus has buried a sword and shoes that prove his identity

Step-by-step explanation:

b Theseus takes his perilous land route to Athens. He kills all the bandits along the way, using their own methods against them

c Not knowing who Theseus is, Aegeus fears the new hero's popularity. Inspire by Medea, he plans to poison the young man; however, Theseus draws his sword, and his father recognizes him

d Ariadne, daughter of King Minos loves Theseus and asks the creator of the Labyrinth for a way to escape it. Daedalus gives her a ball of thread for Theseus to mark his trail. Theseus slays the Minotaur and escapes

e On the way home, the ship stops at the island of Naxos. Adriadne dies there, either because Theseus abandoned her or because she was sick

f As he nears Athens, Theseus forgets to raise a white sail as a signal to his father that he is alive. Seeing a black sail, Aergean jumps to his death in grief.

g Theseus becomes king of Athens but gives it up to establish the world's first democracy

h Theseus forces the Thebans to allow vanquished armies to bury their dead. He refuses to allow his soldiers to loot the now conquered city of Thebes.
