Theseus is a myth character. He was from Athens and his people where being sent to Crete as food for the kings son the Minotaur (a person with the head of a bull), as the king of Athens and the king of Crete had a fight. Since the king of Crete won he demanded that. Theseus wanted to stop it so he was sent to Crete as a slave. He had to go through a labyrinth first (whoever went in never came out). So the kings daughter helped him succeed. She gave him a very long peace of rope so that he could tie one end on a tree trunk and the other on himself so that he could find his way out after defeating the Minotaur. He killed the Minotaur and no more people were sent there again.
