"His idea of dealing justice was simple, but effective: what each had done to others, Theseus did to him" (Hamilton 156). This technique of handling criminals is much like that expressed in the Hammurabi Code of Laws. These are a set of laws that basically say that if one commits a crime, they same crime is to be committed on them.
Theseus' ideals on the government was similar to the way that the United States tried to develop a people's government by developing a democracy.
