What did Theseus do for Greece?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Theseus was born and, after many years, found out that his father was King Aegeus of Crete. He told his father he would like to be a sacrifice to the mighty beast, which was half man and half bull, the Minotaur. But he actually planned to kill it. When he arrived in Crete, he promised the king's daughter, Ariadne, that he would marry her and take her away from Crete. After he killed the Minotaur, and abandoned the princess on an island. When he returned home, Theseus had forgotten to raise the white sails that he had promised his father would mean he was still alive, and the black ones were up instead. So the King of Athens jumped into the sea that bears his name today.
