Though hundreds of cubits separated the two
craft, Theseus still cast a nervous glance behind, recalling a time when death
stared him in the face through the bull’s eyes. When the sails were fully
furled, the rowing master stopped his cadence and sent the youths to their
tasks on the ships. Theseus found himself looking down to a long, tan pair of
legs that sent his heart racing. They belonged to Antiope.
