Theseus

Theseus was an Ancient Greek hero known for slaying a vicious Minotaur. He was the son of King Aegeus, who founded the ancient city of Athens, Greece. It was also thought that he may have been the son of the sea God Poseidon, as his mother was romantically involved with both Poseidon and Aegeus.
