Tanglewood Tales, The Minotaur., part 1, sentence 68

When his grandfather, the wise King Pittheus, heard that Theseus intended to present himself at his father's palace, he earnestly advised him to get on board of a vessel, and go by sea; because he might thus arrive within fifteen miles of Athens, without either fatigue or danger.

Who acts: grandfather, Theseus, Athens · What happens: hear, intend, present, advise, get, go · To what, where: Theseus, palace, Athens, board · Speech: someone speaks here
