"But we do deny it – we do deny it!" cried the elders. "For at that very time our king was sojourning at Troezen on the other side of the Saronic Sea, and he knew nothing of the young prince's death. We ourselves managed the city's affairs while he was abroad, and we know whereof we speak. Androgeos was slain, not through the king's orders but by the king's nephews, who hoped to rouse your anger against Aegeus so that you would drive him from Athens and leave the kingdom to one of them." –“The Cruel Tribute,”
James Baldwin

Explanation:

The Greek story of "The Cruel Tribute" retold by James Baldwin revolves around the story about how Theseus rose to be a hero by defeating the monster Minotaur. The Greek myth tells the events that led to the "tribute" and how it stopped.

In the given passage from the story, King Minos. King of Crete had accused the King of Athens of murdering his son Androgeos who had come three years prior to attend the annual games held by Athens in honor of Athena. He had brought war upon them for he believed that his son had been killed by the Athenian king.

King Aegeus was not there during the young prince's death, so the elders admitted the truth to King Minos.

Thus, the effect of King Minos's accusation was that the elders revealed the truth about the death.
