#aegeus
- Aegeus — Mythical king of Athens, son of Pandion II and father of the hero Theseus, recognized in Hellenic legends for founding early Athenian power structures. His name is permanently linked to the Aegean Sea, into whose waves he threw himself from the cliffs of the Acropolis due to a tragic misunderstanding, erroneously believing his son was killed by the Cretan Minotaur because the returning ship carried black sails.
