ShepherdCLEARING WITH SHEPHERD AND BOULDERYou cross a meadow to find a huge boulder in its midst.There’s also a Shepherd and some Sheep. If you click on theSheep they react, and after the snake in the Shrine scene (nextpage) has cleaned your ears, they talk to you:SHEEPBaah! Here’s b-a-a-a-d news. You can talk to theShepherd.If you do so:SHEPHERDWhat’re you supposed to be? One of themapprentice heroes?Clicking on the boulder walks you over to it. Clicking on itagain triggers an animation of you failing to lift it.SHEPHERDWhoa! You’re stronger than you look, butstrength ain’t everythin’.You notice a branch in the foreground. You pick it up and it“pings” into your inventory. You select it out of inventoryand click it on the boulder. This triggers an animation ofyou prying at the boulder. The branch breaks. The strongerbranch from the Arrest scene (page 17) moves the boulderaround a little, but you still can’t lift it.12
SHEPHERDThat don’t seem to be getting you nowhere.If you consult the Info for a free hint, you will learn that itwas by lifting a boulder that Theseus (THEE-see-us), grandsonof the king of Troezen (TREE-zun), first proved himself a hero.If you read on, you’ll find that Theseus might have lackedthe physical strength for such a feat and used the principle ofleverage instead. But if you didn’t pick up the small stone inthe Avalanche scene (page 20) you’re out of luck for now.If you have the small stone in your inventory, you clickit on the boulder, which puts it in position to work withthe branch as a fulcrum. Use the strong branch from yourinventory to lever up the stone. Underneath it you find asword and a pair of sandals—the very items that Theseusfound beneath his boulder. They had been left there by hisfather as tokens so that Theseus could use them to prove hisidentity.SHEPHERDI wouldn’t give you much for those sandals, butthat’s a fine lookin’ sword!The sword glows magically. The pattern on the hilt is the keyto the episode in the Banquet scene (page 38).SHEPHERDYeah, I couldn’t figure when that old guy buriedit a while back. Seemed like a funny place to bestorin’ armaments.The sword and sandals have pinged into your inventory.ShrineROADSIDE SHRINE. To this day there are countlessroadside shrines in Greece. These are consecrated to theVirgin Mary and various Christian saints, but in ancienttimes they were sacred to pagan deities. A temple wasconsidered to be the house of a god. Its architecture wasoften elaborate. In contrast, a typical small shrine consistedonly of a simple enclosure and an altar. In addition, theremight be a statue of the god or goddess to whom the shrinewas sacred. Sacrifices were placed within the sanctuary or13
