Theseus

Theseus is the mortal chosen by Zeus to fight the forces of evil, and the mighty champion who defeated the Minotaur. Theseus is considered the son of a whore mother for not being raised or knowing his father, he was raised only by his mother and his teacher, the old man "Zeus". He is a skilled warrior that prefers the use of a spear in battle rather than a sword.

History[]

Immortals film[]

Raised as an outcast by his village, due to the fact his mother was raped and therefore, raised him as a bastard child, Theseus lives a fairly solitary life with his mother and an Old Man who has trained and guided him since he was young. Therefore, Theseus is a highly skilled warrior and thus, protects his mother and the Old Man from harm.

King Hyperion's forces threaten all of Greece and Theseus' town plans to evacuate. The general of the Athenian forces, Helios, asks Theseus to join them but he refuses, due to the constant mistreatment he has received. The town is betrayed by Lysander who told Hyperion of the town's location. Hyperion's forces lay waste to everyone and everything, and Hyperion personally slaughters Theseus' mother in-front of him but spares Theseus to live as a slave.

Theseus, enslaved by Hyperion, plans to starve and dehydrate himself in his depression and one day encounters the oracle Phaedra, who has a vision of Theseus embracing Hyperion. Unsure of what this means, she simply knows Theseus is someone of importance and creates a diversion to free Theseus and other slaves.

She is successful and Theseus and Phaedra begin to bond. She has another vision that suggests he should give his mother a proper burial and head back to his village. While saying goodbye to his mother, he finds the Epirus Bow but is intercepted by the Minotaur, but manages to kill him, but is poisoned in the encounter. Phaedra tends to him and the two share an intimate moment, the Oracle asks Theseus to have sex with her, as this will stop her vision - which she sees as a curse. He agrees and they spend the night together.

Theseus travels with his comrades to Phaedra's temple in order to confront Hyperion but it turns out to be an ambush and the Epirus Bow is stolen. The guards attempt to kill Theseus but is saved by Athena and Ares, who gifts them two horses to take them to Mount Tartarus to stop Hyperion.

While at the gates of Mount Tartarus, Theseus manages to rally an army of Hellenics to fight against Hyperion as he blasts through their defences using the Epirus Bow. In the chaos of the battle, Hyperion makes his way beneath mount Tartarus and uses the bow to free the Titans trapped inside. Zeus and the gods arrive to battle with them while Theseus fights Hyperion on his own.

Theseus drives a knife through Hyperion's chest, finally getting revenge for his mother. Zeus uses all of his strength to bring the Mountains crashing down on the Titans and teleports Theseus to safety.

As a reward for his bravery and victory against Hyperion, the gods offer Theseus a place in the heavens with him and bless Phaedra with a son to continue Theseus' bloodline. Yers later, Acamas is observing a public statue made to honor Theseus, which has carvings that depict his adventures. Acamas encounters the Old Man who suggests that, like his father, is destined to fight against evil. Acamas has a prophetic vision in which he sees a battle in the heavens, in which his father is fighting alongside Zeus.
