Theseus

assemble the significance of all of the heroic traits of Theseus? At first I thought of, “The Legend of Theseus” but that seemed very bland and overused. Then I thought, “what about The Mighty Theseus?” Once again, boring and pabulum. I laid back and took out my Mythology book and scanned through the first paragraph of, “Theseus”. After reading the first few sentences, something caught my eye; “...there grew up a saying in Athens, “Nothing without Theseus” (Hamilton 208). Those three words told…

the Minotaur is a half man, half bull mythical creature. The Minotaur has been mentioned in many heroes tales, including the hero of Athens, Theseus. Theseus comes to Crete to slay the Minotaur after the king of Minos, king Minos, demands children from Athens to be a meal for it.

In short, Minos did not sacrifice the beautiful white bull as it was intended, and Poseidon punished him by making his wife fall in love with the bull, and that is how…

love-struck woman, a meddlesome fairy, but most importantly, a man of rationality, Theseus. He is the Duke of Athens and if any citizen has any sort of dilemma, they would feel obliged to go to Theseus. In the 5th and final act of Shakespeare’s play, Theseus goes on a poetic rant on how the main characters of the play are exaggerating on their enchanted night, and how he sees poetry and love to be foolish. Theseus’ speech is appropriate to him in the way that his character is the pure embodiment…
