Theseus was widely considered the greatest Athenian hero, the king who managed to politically unify Attica under the aegis of Athens. Son of either Aegeus, the king of Athens, or Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Aethra, a princess, Theseus was raised by his mother in the palaces of Troezen. Upon reaching adulthood and finding out the identity of his father, he set out on a journey to Athens, during which he managed to overcome many challenges, most famously the slaying of the Minotaur inside the Labyrinth. This amazing statue of Theseus is made of cold cast resin, and measures 8 inches tall, 5.75 inches wide, 3.5 inches deep. It has a bronzed finish accented by subtle hints of hand-painted color that emphasizes the detail of the piece and makes it look like metal. This statue makes a great gift for mythology buffs, and is sure to be admired.
