Marathon Bull

So this bull had become the fear of the inhabitants of Attica. They then begged Theseus himself to save them from this plague.

Theseus and the bull

And Theseus, without a second reason, went to Marathon. There he found the bull, who, as soon as he saw him, began to run. Theseus chased him until he managed to catch him and tie him up tightly.

Then he took him on his shoulders and brought him to Athens, where he took him around the whole city so that everyone could see him and rest easy.

They all took him to the altar of Apollo and sacrificed him to the god.
