• Son of Aegeus and Poseidon.  Aethra had slept with the both of them in one night.
• Aegeus was one of the kings of Athens.  On his wedding night with Aethra, she swam to a small island where she met Poseidon.
• This mix gave Theseus a combination of mortal and immortal traits.
• Aegeus left but placed his sandals and sword under a rock.  He said he should remove the rock when he grows up and if he’s heroic enough.
• To get back to his father, he could either take the safe route (the sea), or the dangerous one (by land), where he would encounter the six entrances to the underworld.  He chose the to travel by land.
• There are a few versions of Theseus and the Minotaur.  Mostly there were sacrifices every so many years made to the Minotaur.  Theseus volunteers to kill the Minotaur to end the madness.
• Theseus takes place of one of the volunteers.  When he arrives at Crete, Ariadne (King Mino’s daughter) falls in love with him.  She then helps aid him in fighting the Minotaur.  She gives him a ball of string to find his way through the Labyrinth.
• Theseus overpowers the Minotaur and kills it.
• Escapes with all of the young volunteers, Ariadne, and her younger sister Phaedra.
• Theseus was told to leave Ariadne and her sister, and while he was so distressed he forgot to change the sails on his boat to white (as promised to his father).  The king ended up killing himself.
• Dionysus saw how upset Ariadne was, pitied her, and married her.
• Theseus married Phaedra and had two sons, Demophon and Acamas.  During their infancy, she fell in love with Theseus’ other son, Hippolytus.
