Theseus, son of Aegeus, king of Athens, means 'strong man par excellence'. He was a friend of Lapith Pirithous. Theseus eliminated Periphetes, son of Hephaestus, in Epidaurus; the villain Sinis, son of Poseidon and Siron in Megara. He fought against the Amazons. After capturing the Minotaur of Crete, he abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos. He died after being pushed by Lycomedes ("the one who acts like the wolf). His 'eidolon' (soul without a body) helped the Athenians at the battle of Marathon.
He had a temple in the Agora of Athens.

Eliminou Perifetes, filho de Hefestos, em Epidauro; o bandido Sínis, filho de Poseidon e Siron em Megara. Lutou contra as Amazonas. Depois de capturar o Minotauro de Creta, abandonou Ariadne na ilha de Naxos. Morreu devido a empurrão de Licomedes, 'o que actua como lobo'.
