Aegeas, when he left for Athena, told Aethra, Theseus' mother, that he had buried his sword and sandals under a large boulder. If his son should be hero enough to lift the boulder, he should be sent to Athens to claim the throne. Theseus did just that.

What happen first king minos son dies or theseus ties the gold thread to his body?

Theseus ties the gold thread to his body before King Minos's son dies. The thread is used to navigate the Labyrinth after Theseus volunteers to confront the Minotaur, the creature that killed Minos's son, Androgeus. By tying the thread to the entrance, Theseus ensures he can find his way back after defeating the Minotaur. Therefore, the death of Minos's son occurs prior to Theseus's actions in the Labyrinth.
