Egeus complained to Prince Theseus because his daughter, Hermia, refused to marry Demetrius, the man Egeus had chosen for her. Instead, Hermia was in love with Lysander, which Egeus viewed as defiance of his authority and the Athenian law that required daughters to obey their fathers. Egeus sought the prince's intervention to enforce his will and ensure that Hermia complied with his wishes. This situation sets the stage for the ensuing conflicts in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
