There is no clear definition of Theseus, but it comes from the same root word as θεσμός (thesmos) which means "institution".

Theseus was the "founder-king" of Athens (which is odd because he wasn't the first king). Traditionally, he is credited with establishing Athens as a world power at the time. Only Pericles figured more prominently, so "institution" makes sense.

The name Theseus is derived from Greek mythology. It comes from the Greek word "ΞΈΞ΅ΟƒΞΌΟŒΟ‚" (thesmos), which means "law" or "custom." Theseus was a legendary hero in Greek mythology, known for his courage and strength.
