In the world of Greek Mythology, there are probably a couple of Gods that come to mind. Zeus, Hera, Ares, Apollo, ect. But have you heard of Theseus? Probably not. He is famous from when he had entered the Labyrinth ( An irregular path or maze), where the Minotaur (Half-Man and Half Bull) lived, he found the Minotaur and killed it with yarn, and that’s how he got out of the maze. Theseus wasn’t a god, he was a hero. He had all of the qualities as a normal hero, such as strength, courage, intelligence and being wise. He benefited the city of Athens. Everybody had worshipped him because he was the “founder” of Athens. Theseus’s childhood was pretty rough. He grew up without a dad. But when he was young, he could do a lot of stuff on his own.
