Skyros didn't push Theseus off the cliff. Skyros is a monster, so he forces passerby to kneel to wash his feet. When the person kneels, he kicks him off the cliff into the sea, where his flesh-eating pet turtle is waiting to eat said person. Theseus, on his way to Athens, punished Skyros for his sin by doing exactly what Skyros did to others: Theseus threw Skyros off the cliff where the turtle ate his master. Then Theseus went on his merry way.
