Outschool would like you to know that in these stories Theseus commits and is witness to various violent acts. The stories begin with a bandit who clubs people to death and in turn is clubbed to death by his own club by Theseus. The stories conclude with a villainous smith named Procrustes who had two beds; a short bed he would tie victims to and lop off the excess length, and a long bed he would stretch people to fit. Apollodorus' 'Library' basically says that he used a giant hammer to flatten guests like a pancake on a massive bed of iron (Epitome. 1.4.) The progeny of Sinis is not included nor will it be mentioned.
