Metion took the kingdom from Pandion and when Pandion died Pallas, Nisos, Lykos, and Aigeus took control of Athens. Aigeus then took complete control of the kingdom of Athens and ruled as the king.

	In the tragedy Medea written by Euripides, Aigeus is an old friend of Medea. Aigeus has come to visit Medea after leaving the oracle of Phoebus (651). The reason that he goes to the oracle is so that can learn how he can have children. Aigeus then proceeds to ask why Medea looks so sad. Medea explains how Jason has done her wrong by marrying the daughter of Kreon. Medea then begins to ask for Aigeus to take pity on her: “Have pity on me, have pity on your poor friend, and do not let me go into exile desolate but receive me in your land and at your very hearth” (695-696). Aigeus agrees do this if she will give him drugs that will help him bear children. After Aigeus appears to Medea her mood changes. Now that Aigeus has offered Medea a place to live she is no longer remorseful but now wants revenge.		In the tragedy ''Medea'' written by Euripides, Aigeus is an old friend of Medea.

Now that Aigeus has offered Medea a place to live she is no longer remorseful but now wants revenge.

	Aigeus did not have any male children with his first wife, Meta. He married a second wife, Chalciope, in hopes of having an heir. An heir was not produced by either wife; therefore, Aigeus decided to go to Delphi to visit with the oracle and hopefully find out what was required for him to get an heir. The oracle tells Aigeus "to not loosen the hanging foot of the wine-skin" (Norton 656). Aigeus does not understand the meaning; he then travels to see Pittheus in Troezen. Pittheus is Aigeus's father-in-law and he is considered to be a righteous man(Norton 656). Aigeus travels through Corinth while on his way to Troezen and visits with Medea. Medea tells Aigeus how Jason has treated her and requests that Aigeus give her a haven of protection. Aigeus tells Medea what the oracle has told him and Medea tells Aigeus she can help him get male children. Aigeus tells Medea he will provide protection to her, but she has to reach Athens on her own accord (Norton 657).		Aigeus did not have any male children with his first wife, Meta.
