Mythology Summary
Theseus is the hero of Athens: son of Aegeus and Aethra, or of Poseidon, raised at Troezen, who clears the road to Athens of its robbers, goes to Crete, kills the Minotaur with Ariadne's thread, and comes back to be king. He is credited with the synoecism, the joining of the villages of Attica into one city, and with the Oschophoria (Plutarch, Theseus 23-24); his later adventures - the Amazons, Helen, the descent with Peirithous - end in exile and death on Scyros. Plutarch's Life of Theseus is the continuous account, and it treats him as a founder with a civic cult rather than as a god.
Modern Practice
Theseus is called on for founding, for holding a city together, and for getting through a passage that has only one exit. The practice is the joining: he is the hero who makes one thing out of many, and the offerings are the ones a city makes - first fruits, a shared meal, a festival kept.
