Theseus (/ˈθiːsiːəs/; Ancient Greek: Θησεύς [tʰɛːsěu̯s]) was the mythical king of Athens and was the son of Aethra by two fathers: Aegeus and Poseidon.
Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus, or Heracles (Hercules), all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order. As Heracles was the Dorian hero, Theseus was a founding hero, considered by Athenians as their own great reformer: his name comes from the same root as θεσμός ("thesmos"), Greek for "The Gathering". The myths surrounding Theseus—his journeys, exploits, and family—have provided material for fiction throughout the ages.
Theseus was responsible for the synoikismos ("dwelling together")—the political unification of Attica under Athens, represented emblematically in his journey of labours, subduing ogres and monstrous beasts. Because he was the unifying king, Theseus built and occupied a palace on the fortress of the Acropolis that may have been similar to the palace that was excavated in Mycenae. Pausanias reports that after the synoikismos, Theseus established a cult of Aphrodite Pandemos ("Aphrodite of all the People") and Peitho on the southern slope of the Acropolis.

God of War II HD In God of War II, Theseus served the Sisters of Fate as the 'Horse Keeper' and kept the key to the altars on the backs of the Steeds of Time. When Kratos arrived on The Steeds and met their guardian, he proposed for Theseus to hand over the key, in exchange for his life.

A five part unit on Ancient Greece. Crissa Venetti investigates the story of Theseus and the Minotaur, mixing drama and documentary to bring to life one of the most famous tales from ancient Greece. Her journey begins in the British Museum, where she sees a vase showing a man fighting with a bull-headed monster. Then she travels to Athens to see where the vase may have been made. Featuring Hugo Myatt (Knightmare's Treguard) as Stephanos.
This was made by me for my English class for the Greek myth, "Theseus & the Minotaur". I took the clips from a documentary series called "Clash of the Gods" on the History Channel. The music is by E.S. Posthumous called Unstoppable. No copyright infringement intended as this is purely entertainment and educational (two words that usually don't go together). Anyways, enjoy.
"What lies beneath the door?
What keeps you?
Explore!
Do you take the chance to defeat the source?
The gates are opening
The choice
The future
The future is yours!"
So now you've found all you
Were looking for
How you gonna find your way out
Of the maze? You hear those
Jealous hands
Those bitter men
Carve their meat before the table
Is laid
And they are hungry
they are hungry for you
They are hungry, they are hungry for you
With an appetite
Insatiable
They are hungry
They are hungry
For you
The warm thread of love
Leads you, to freedom
But once your hero's dead
Is done you leave her lying
Lone no parasol under slow
And solitary suns
And she is hungry
She is hungry for you
She is hungry for you
With an appetite
So generous
She is hungry
She is hungry
For you
Why no surrender
To your lover?
Or to the dead ends of the maze?
With all your life yet to discover
A black sail billows
The sun
Hits your blade
And you are hungry
you are hungry for you
Only hungry
Only hungry for you
So take a look around
And a little more...
Who is this for?
And what is this for... your appetite
So dangerous?
Your appetite...
