Theseus (Riordan)

Theseus is a legendary figure in the Greek Mythology and a supporting character in the Percy Jackson book series. He is the hero who killed the Minotaur, an ancient beast said to be half-man and half-bull. Allegedly, Ariadne gave Theseus a golden ball of yarn that he used to guide himself through the Labyrinth. After slaying the Minotaur, Theseus saved his thirteen companions after their sacrifice. Later, he and his men took Ariadne with her back to his kingdom. However, he abandoned her the next day. Ariadne died of a broken heart; however, Dionysus took pity on her. He resurrected her and made her a goddess so he could marry her. 
Theseus became the king of Athens through his stepfather, and married Phaedra (Ariadne's sister).
