Theseus was the son of the King of Athens, Aegeas. Athens was defeated by Knossos (in Crete, ruled by Minos) and the tribute to be paid was 12 virgin youths (6 male, 6 female) to be sacrificed to the minotaur every 9 years. Theseus volunteered to go in order that he might kill the Minotaur and free Athens from this burden.
