“The third detail: ‘Then Aegeus, the king of Athens . . . went out to see King Minos and to treat with him.’
This creates the most suspense because it sets up an uncertain, potentially dangerous encounter between the two kings after war—readers are left wondering what will happen in the meeting and what the consequences will be for Athens.
