THESEUS
*Greek
THESEUS was the son of King Aegeus of Athens, or, in some versions,
POSEIDON, god of the sea. One of the best known of all the Greek heroes,
the Athenian prince's most famous exploit was the slaying of the
flesh-eating MINOTAUR. This he achieved with the help of Ariadne, the
King of Crete's daughter.
