He thought Theseus was dead because on the way back from Crete, the sailors forgot to change the sails from black to white, which would signal that Theseus was alive...dumb bastards.
No, he is not. He was the son of Aethra and king Aegeus.
When Theseus' mother tells him that his real father is King Aegeus, she tells him he must take the sword and sandals that King Aegeus had buried for him back to the king and claim his birthright.
Aegeus killed himself because he thought he lost his son, Theseus. Theseus traveled to Crete to defeat the Minotaur and told his father that if he returned victorious he would have a white sail. However Ariadne cursed Theseus and the gods caused Theseus to forget to raise his white sail. Aegeus saw a ship with a black sail and thinking that his son was dead he threw himself off a cliff.
In Euripides' play "Medea," Medea asks Aegeus, the King of Athens, for sanctuary and protection in his city after she has committed her violent acts. She seeks his promise that he will allow her to stay in Athens and not hand her over to her enemies. In return, she offers to help him with a solution to his childlessness. Aegeus agrees, providing her with the refuge she desperately needs.
I'm not really sure but I think that when Theseus returned to Athens sailing with a black flag, he thought his son died so he threw himself into the sea.When King Aegeus's son, Theseus, returned from Crete sailing with a black sail instead of white, Aegeus threw himself of a cliff into the sea, which is now called the Aegean seaWhen theseus came back from crete sailing with the black flag Aegeus threw him self off a cliff
