The Legend of Li Galli Island 1

         There are many legends that are tied in with my island, so I'll recount some stories to you. Theseus was the hero of Athens, using his wisdom to save even the life of Herculese, his older cousin. He was the creator of Athens democracy and was known to help the poor and elderly. He soon became king of Athens. His wisdom soon left him for some unknown reason, and he began going on foolish quests. His search for the heir to the kingdom put the people in turmoil, and he was soon exiled. Centuries later, there was a war against Persia and Greek soldiers reported seeing the ghost of Theseus, and they had believed that he was the responsible for their victory. His bones were then returned to Athens and put into a fancy coffin. The legend is that Theseus had transferred his knowlege to one book, and he hid it here, waiting for a worthy heir to find it. No book has been found yet, but the knowlege within is said to bring out the genuis and creativity in people.
