Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Change (Emma)

Physical:
-"...grew strong enough to roll away the stone and get the things beneath it..." (Hamilton 155). This shows physical change because it demonstrates the way that his physical strength changed over time.

Mental:
-"Nothing without Theseus" (Hamilton 155). This is a term that grew in Athens. It is an example of mental change because it shows that he grew into an cultural icon for Athens, which means that he as a person changed, as well as the way society saw him.
-"'Go, you are banished from the land.'" "'If only I could die for you'" (Hamilton 164). This demonstrates a mental change because it shows how his love for his son was altered in this time frame.

Spiritual:
-"He resigned his royal power and organized a commonwealth, building a council hall where the citizens should gather and vote" (Hamilton 160).This is an example of the spiritual change that Theseus went through because it shows that his beliefs on society and the way that a government should be led changed.
-"But when he was victory he did not return evil to the Thebans for the evil they had done" (Hamilton 160). This also shows that Theseus changed spiritually throughout his journey because previously, he would have done to the criminals what they had done to the people. In this case, he simply wanted to teach them a lesson.
