Is medus in The Bible?

Strictly speaking, no. Medus is a figure out of Greek mythology.Medus only appears in the English translation of John 8.7 as an acrostic, this means taking the first or nth letter of every word in a phrase to form a "hidden" word.It should however be noted that the bible was not written in English and the forming of this word is rather "flexible" with the acrostic composition rules. The word cannot be formed as an acrostic in the original text of John 8.7. In addition, it is statistically probable to find hidden words in virtually any text written in an alphabet since there are just that many vowels and consonants. For example, there are several acrostic poems you can extract from the Bill Of Rights or even from a cooking recipe for that matter.For more information visit the Related Link.


Why does Medea try to poison theseus?

She doesn't want Aegeus to recognize his son, Theseus, because Aegeus would then reinstate Theseus's position as heir and he would inherit the throne of Athens after Aegeus dies. Medea wants her own son, Medus, to rule Athens after Aegeus dies - she wants to remove Theseus so that this can happen.


Why did Medea try to poison Theseus and how does King Aegeus stop her plans?

Medea was Aegeus' second wife, and she bore him a son named Medus. Medus was the heir-apparent to the throne prior to the re-emergence of Theseus. Medea immediately recognized Theseus and set to him the task of capturing the Marathonian Bull (previously the Cretan Bull - sire of the Minotaur by Pasiphae). She assumed the task would kill him, but instead, Theseus brought the bull back to be sacrificed. Fearing that Aegeus would make Theseus his heir rather than her own son, she attempted to poison him. But before Theseus could drink the poison, Aegeus recognized his own sandals and sword, hidden so many years before. Recognizing his son, he slapped the poison out of his hand and embraced him. Medea then fled Athens back to her homeland in Colchis, son in tow.

• 1300 BC: Cemetery H culture comes to an end. • 1292 BC: End of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, start of the Nineteenth Dynasty. • 1282 BC: Pandion II, legendary King of Athens, dies after a nominal reign of 25 years. He reportedly only reigned in Megara while Athens and the rest of Attica were under the control of an alliance of Nobles led by his uncle Metion (son of Erechtheus of Athens) and his sons (including in some accounts Daedalus). His four sons lead a successful military campaign to regain the throne. Aegeus becomes King of Athens, Nisos reigns in Megara, Lykos in Euboea and Pallas in southern Attica. • (May 31), 1279 BC: Ramesses II becomes leader of Ancient Egypt. • 1278 BC: Seti I dies, 1 year after his son, Ramesses II is crowned. • 1274 BC: The Battle of Kadesh in Syria. Egyptians and Hittites sign the earliest known peace treaty at the end of the Battle of Kadesh. • 1269 BC: Ramses II, king of ancient Egypt, and Hattusilis III, king of the Hittites, sign the earliest known peace treaty. • (September 7), 1251 BC: A solar eclipse on this date might mark the birth of legendary Heracles at Thebes, Greece. • 1250 BC: Wu Ding king of Shang Dynasty to 1192 BC. • 1250 BC: The Lion gate at Mycene is constructed (comparable with Hittite architecture). • c. 1230 BC: Aegeus, legendary King of Athens, receives a false message that his designated heir Theseus, his son by Aethra of Troezena, is dead. Theseus had been sent to his overlord Minos of Crete as an offering to the Minotaur. Medus, Aegeus' only other son (by Medea of Colchis), had been exiled in Asia and would become legendary ancestor to the Medes. Believing himself without heirs the King commits suicide after a reign of 48 years. He is succeeded by Theseus, who actually still lives. The Aegean Sea is reportedly named in his honor. • 1210 BC: Pharaoh Merneptah defeats a Libyan invasion. • 1213 BC: Theseus, legendary King of Athens, is deposed and succeeded by Menestheus, great-grandson of Erechtheus and second cousin of Theseus' father Aegeus. Menestheus is reportedly assisted by Castor and Polydeuces of Sparta, who want to reclaim their sister Helen from her first husband Theseus. The latter seeks refuge in Skyros, whose King Lycomedes is an old friend and ally. Lycomedes, however, considers his visitor a threat to the throne and proceeds to assassinate him (though other accounts place these events a decade later, in the 1200s BC). • 1212 BC: Death of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses the Great. • 1207 BC: Pharaoh Merneptah claims a victory over the people of Israel. • 1204 BC: Theseus, legendary King of Athens, is deposed after a reign of 30 years and succeeded by Menestheus, great-grandson of Erichthonius II of Athens and second cousin of Theseus' father Aegeus.
