To the Classical Era Greeks, the story of Theseus showed the dominance of Athens over it's neighbors. You had the clever and powerful Theseus (Prince of Athens) helped by the ingenious Athenian engineer, Daedalus to defeat the powerful symbol of Minoan debauchery and devilry, the Minotaur. Crete was so wicked, that even the daughters of the king, Phaedra and Ariadne, chose to help Theseus rather than their own father.
In short, Theseus is an excellent example of Bronze Age Propaganda.
