Journey Perspectives-Michiko

Metaphorically:
"She told him then that the time has come for him to seek his father (pg. 155)"
      Theseus wanted to meet his father, so he followed his dream and got to meet his father.
"His idea was to become a great hero (pg.155)"
     This is metaphorical to the journey because this shows that you need to know what you want in life.
"He battered the monster to the death (pg. 158)"
    This example is metaphorical because fear did not hold him back therefore he was able to accomplish more.
"He battered the monster to the death (pg. 158)"
    This is metaphorical because he wouldn't have been able to learn that the had great power, if he did not apply the actions to it. 
    

Symbolically:
"The others followed and taking Ariadne with them they fled to the ship and over the sea toward Athens (pg. 158)"
    This symbolizes leadership and bravery.
"He wanted peoples government, where all would be equal (pg. 160)"
    This symbolizes kindness to the people.
"He protected  his two helpless daughters and sent them safely home after their fathers death (pg. 160)"
   This symbolizes protection and care for his people.
"Theseus gave him his hand, roused his courage (pg 160)"
   This symbolizes a close friend as well as a good leader.
Theseus can also be symbolized by a bull because it represents pride and accomplishments. He also defeated one. 

Literally:
   He meant to go to Athens in search for his father. He came across an issue with limitation of the people, he destroyed the problem and gave freedom to the people.
