In Greek mythology , Pittheus was a son of Pelops , father of Aethra , and grandfather of Theseus . He was the King of Troezen . When Aegeus asked Pittheus for advice about how to regain his throne from his brother, Pittheus got him drunk and Aegeus ended up spending the night with Aethra. Aethra had laid with Poseidon earlier that evening, so when Theseus was born he became Aegeus stepson. After he had finishes his labours, Heracles came to visit Pittheus. He laid his lion skin down on a couch where it sat in a most life like fashion. A little while later Theseus who was seven years old at this time came into the room with some of his schoolmates. When the other children saw the skin of the Nemean lion , they ran from it in terror, thinking that it was alive. However, Theseus remained in the room, grabbed a sword from a nearby guard, and attacked the lion skin.

Background After Oedipus leaves Thebes, his sons fight for control of it. Polyneices lays siege to Thebes against his brother Eteocles . Polyneices has married the daughter of Adrastus, King of Argos. And so Polyneices has on his side the Argive army, leaders of which help form the Seven Against Thebes . The invaders lose the battle, and Polyneices and Eteocles both die. Creon takes power in Thebes and decrees the invaders are not to be buried. The mothers of the dead seek someone to help reverse this, so their sons can be buried. Story The play begins with Adrastus and the Argive mothers seeking help from Aethra and her son Theseus within the Temple of Demeter . Theseus feels pity for them, and with the consent of the Athenian people decides to help. After it has become clear that Creon will not give up the bodies, the Athenian army must take them by force. In the end, the dead are finally laid to rest. The same story had been mentioned years earlier in book 9 of Histories Herodotus The History by Herodotus , in which the Athenians claimed the event as an example of their history of bravery. Unburied Dead Funeral rites are very important to people in ancient Greek literature. The Iliad contains scenes of people fighting over corpses, such as that of Patroclus . People are willing to fight and risk dying to obtain the bodies of the dead. The Suppliants takes this concept even farther, showing a whole city willing to wage war to retrieve the bodies of these strangers.

Adults It is about 1.25 2 . The moth s abdomen has yellow and black segments much like those of the bumblebee, whom it might be mistaken for due to its color and flight pattern similarities. The moth s wings lack the large amount of scales found in most other lepidopterans, particularly in the centralized regions, making them appear clear. It loses the scales on its wings early after the pupa stage by its highly active flight tendencies. It flies during the daylight much like the other hummingbird moths, but it may also continue flight into the evening, particularly if it has found a good source of nectar. Distribution The moth is found from the Northwest Territories and British Columbia south to southern California and Baja California Norte , east through most of the United States to Maine and Florida . Food Plants The larvae feed on plants including honeysuckle , viburnum , Crataegus hawthorn , snowberry , cherry , and plum . Gallery gallery Image Hemaris dif ... more details
