Meaning
Possibly derived from Greek τίθημι (tithemi) meaning "to set, to place".
Theseus was a heroic king of Athens in Greek mythology.
He was the son of Aethra, either by
Aegeus or by the god
Poseidon. According to legend, every seven years the Cretan king
Minos demanded that Athens supply
Crete with seven boys and seven girls to be devoured by the Minotaur, a half-bull creature that was the son of
Minos's wife Pasiphaë.
Theseus volunteered to go in place of one of these youths in order to slay the Minotaur in the Labyrinth where it lived.
He succeeded with the help of
Minos's daughter
Ariadne, who provided him with a sword and a roll of string so
He could find his way out of the maze.
William Shakespeare made
Theseus a central character in his play A Midsummer
Night's
Dream (1595), about his upcoming marriage to the Amazon queen
Hippolyta.
Shakespeare revisited the character in his later play The Two
Noble Kinsmen (1613).
