Theseus' father.
Theseus said he will turn the sails white if he wins the Minotaur, if he doesn't and dies then the sails would be black. But in his happiness of his victory, he forgot about it and the sails remained black. In that shock Theseus' father, Aegues, suicided by jumping of a cliff into the sea. And the got his name - The Aegean Sea.
Hope that helps :)
