The myth of Theseus is primarily set in ancient Greece, particularly in Athens and Crete. Athens is depicted as a city-state under the rule of King Aegeus, while Crete is the domain of King Minos, where the Labyrinth and the Minotaur reside. The story unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue, heroic quests, and the cultural practices of ancient Greek society, including themes of sacrifice and bravery. Theseus's adventures, including his journey to confront the Minotaur, highlight the mythical landscape of ancient Greek civilization.
