Gathelus was a man from long ago who was entrusted with the Stone of Destiny.
History
According to legend, Gathelus was the son of the King of Athens. He was a capable warrior and won many victories fighting for the Pharaoh of Egypt. The Pharaoh rewarded the Athenian Prince with the hand of his daughter, Scota, in marriage. Not long after they were wed, Scota became pregnant. During her pregnancy, Gathelus and Scota were warned by Moses, who they had befriended, that plagues would soon befall Egypt and they decided to flee. Moses put in their care Jacob's Pillow.
Not long after, their ship landed on the shores of Samothrace, where Scota gave birth to twin boys. The family continued to wander the globe for two years with the Stone in their possession before arriving on a land they named the Port of Gathelus (Portugal). By this time they had four sons and they would go on to have four more sons.
When Gathelus died, he was placed in a stone sarcophagus and mourned by his wife and sons.
Shari told the story of Gathelus to Thailog in 1996.
