I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Latin American Spanish into American English. Translator colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about Mythology. Is okay to translate it with the dust of the trip still over the skin?
It's about the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
I hope that all of you are healthy and safe from Covid19.
Here is the full paragraph for your review:
Hasta que al fin llego a la fortaleza de Atenas, y con el polvo del viaje aún sobre la piel pidió audiencia al rey Egeo, su padre.
Había pasado diecisiete años desde que Egeo había abandonado a la madre de Teseo, ahora su barba era gris y tenía otra mujer a su lado,
