Theseus ist einer der berühmtesten Helden der griechischen Mythologie. Seine Nachkommen werden als Thesiden bezeichnet. Theseus Geburt: Als der athenische König Aigeus kinderlos blieb, ging er nach Delphi, um das Orakel zu befragen. Er erhielt als Orakelspruch, dass er „das vorstehende Ende eines Weinschlauchs nicht lösen“, d. h. sich nicht betrinken solle, bevor er nicht nach Athen zurückgekehrt sei. Da er die Weissagung nicht verstand, begab er sich nach Troizen zu dem weisen König Pittheus. Dieser verstand den Orakelspruch und brachte Aigeus dazu, mit einem Mädchen zu schlafen – vermutlich, indem er ihn betrunken machte.

Slaying the minotaur was only the beginning. Theseus's legendary exploits continue in this magnificent tale of mythological adventure in classical Greece. Picking up where The King Must Die left off, this stirring sequel recounts Theseus's triumphant return from Crete to become King of Athens.
