In Eleusis, the king Kerkyon is killed every year and his killer becomes the next king.
Would a small young man really be able to shove such a large, strong man off a cliff? Dexios was killed, but somehow small Theseus managed to shove the very large man off the cliff as well, defending himself and avenging his friend’s untimely death. This advantage of Theseus’ small size came into play on the road to Eleusis when his companion, Dexios, was shoved off a cliff by a very large, broad-shouldered robber. Of course, Theseus is fortunate to ironically able to use his small size to his advantage. However, this does not stop him from besting the other boys in wrestling matches. serious Theseus grew up and was much smaller than the other boys his age. He will always be a guilt ridden traitor.for love.Theseus was clearly very lucky not to run into trouble in the horse field as a small boy.
Could also be with a touch of irony the new "King" is also metaphorically dead because he will never find sanctuary.
But this is how it is We live this triangle and so The King is Dead. Will I find sanctuary if I do not find peace in my stolen love. And if I am the courtier, the traitor and the winner of love, Do I find sanctuary knowing that my victory in love was based in treachery, my hands are stained forever. They are easy prey so had best sail off to where there are no women. "Some men are better staying sailors", not getting involved in love as they have no hope and are just blind. This is the eternal triangle and so The King "Must" Die. And the "King", the man in love, feeling like a King, needs to be ever on guard in his "Court", One's so called friends are the courtiers, "courting" the wife and they so "cannot be called "best" friends", the mercenaries who sing are those who know what is going on and say nothing to the King but "sing" along. I have always believed it is a metaphor for betrayal of friendship in that one's friends will always steal your wife or lover if they think they can and they will do so in your face, "as the juggler's act is danced upon" and we're all having a jolly time. I have always loved this song and it's lyrics reverberate in my mind when certain situations trigger them.
