Did you hear the word Theseus? This is maybe you got to hear in your one of your subject during the school days. This November bring back the old days of your school in taking the great history of Greece. Watch immortals online and for see within yourself. One of the Gods that you maybe know is Theseus.

In the film Theseus is been played by Henry Cavill. Theseus was the mythical founder-king of Athens, son of Aethra, and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon, both of whom Aethra had slept with in one night. Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus, or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order. As Heracles was the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Athenian founding hero, considered by them as their own great reformer: his name comes from the same root as θεσμός ("thesmos"), Greek for institution. He was responsible for the synoikismos ("dwelling together")—the political unification of Attica under Athens, represented emblematically in his journey of labours, subduing highly localized ogres and monstrous beasts.
