Clever justice that mirrors a villain’s cruelty
Theseus defeats each brigand by turning their own method on them: he clubs the club‑bearer with his club, kills Sinis by the pine‑bending trick, hurls Sciron into the sea onto his turtle, and makes Procrustes fit his own bed. This pattern emphasizes retributive/poetic justice rather than mercy, humility, or family loyalty.
