SINIS
Sinis was ruffian who beset
travelers on the road between
Troezen and Athens. Sinis
asked passing strangers to help
him bend two pine trees to the
ground. Once he had bent the
trees, he tied his helper's
wrists - one to each tree. When
the strain became too much,
the trees snapped upright and
scattered portions of anatomy
in all directions. The hero
Theseus turned the tables on
Sinis by tying his wrists to a
couple of bent pines, then
letting nature and fatigue take
their course.
