Procrustes and Theseus

This video tells the story of Procrustes. Procrustes sat on the side of the road and tricked strangers coming by to lay in his bed, and then he tied them up and did horrible things. This directly relates to the Percy Jackson scene were Crusty tricks Percy. Percy Jackson has an encounter with him, but Percy Jackson doesn’t realize, that Procrustes is also the son of Poseidon. And who defeats Procrustes? Another son of Poseidon, Theseus. So Percy, Procrustes and Theseus are all sons of Poseidon! This video is a quick description of the story of Procrustus, and a lesson that one size does not fit all.

I would like to point out that the video about the blacksmith comes from a really great website that will teach you blacksmithing. If you want to learn more about blacksmithing or TRY IT yourself, check out https://blacksmithvideos.com and their youtube channel called “Blacksmithvideos.” Really phenomenal work!
