THESEUS WAS THE SON OF THE KING OF ATHENS.

HE SLEW THE MINOTAUR THAT WAS LOCKED IN THE LABYRINTH

EVERYONE LIKED HIM AS HE WAS A HEROIC PERSONS

SHOES AND A SWORD WERE PLACED UNDER A ROCK SO WHEN THESEUS WAS OLD ENOUGH AND STRONG ENOUGH HE WOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO ATHENS.

EVERY 9 YEARS AS A TRIBUTE TO THE MINOTAUR 7 YOUNG GIRLS AND 7 YOUNG BOYS WERE SENT TO THE LABYRINTH TO A HORRIBLE FATE.

UNDERSTANDABLY THE KING FEARED THESEUS' POPULARITY SO TRIED TO POISON HIM.

SENSUAL RELATIONS WITH A BULL MADE PASIPHAE WIFE OF MINOS, BEAR THE MINOTAUR.
