(French, 1796 -1875)
Theseus is the Hercules of Greece.
Hercules is from Rome (and his real name is Heracles) ;)
The reason why, in my opinion we don't hear about him is because Theseus relied almost solely on his strength when beating his opponents. Unlike Hercules who used his wit, Theseus ripped heads off. Actually, Theseus is a major player in Greek mythology. He's the guy who kidnapped Helen of Troy and set off the Trojan War. When you read a little more about him, you begin to understand that... he would.
