Theseus's father, King Aegeus of Athens, was believed to have died by suicide after mistakenly thinking that Theseus had been killed. Aegeus had instructed Theseus to raise a white sail upon his return if he was victorious against the Minotaur, but when he saw a black sail instead, he assumed the worst and threw himself into the sea. This act gave the sea its name, the Aegean Sea, in his memory.

Theseus never commited suicide. His father did, Aegus commied suicide because his father thought that Theseus died because his ship had black sails up instead of white sails. Theseus and his father agreed on that when he returned home that black sails meant he died in crete but white sails meant that Theseus was alive. But Theseus forgot to change the sails and his father thought Theseus was dead. So his father commited suicide out of his grief.

Theseus lost this father (king of Athens) beacuse Theseus said if he died from the minotaur he would keep the flags balck on his ship. Theseus DID in fact kill the minotaur but beacuse of his new love (woman who helped him, but thats another story) he forgot to put up white flags which meant he was alive. Seeing that the flags were white his father jumped off a cliff drowning into the water.
