Theseus was a great hero that tried to help many of the people out and he would try to do the right things in the right way. During the great Gods they had an influence on people in their life and actions. Poseidon, the Greek God of the sea had a great influence on many people through their life. Theseus was a young boy and he thought Poseidon was his father. Poseidon had a great influence on Theseus. Theseus thinks that justice must be carried out and Poseidon tells him the right things to do.
