	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.
