I think I’ve complained plenty about Perseus being aged up, whether it’s in retellings or Hollywood movies, but now I wanna talk about Theseus being aged up.

It diminishes Theseus’s nobility and selflessness to avenge and liberate Athens. There’s no way cretans (who specifically demanded girls/maidens and boys/youths) would’ve accepted bringing in a big strong man to sacrifice to the Minotaur, if they were ok with bringing adult men then Aegeus would’ve sent warriors to kill the Minotaur ages ago. Theseus being a youth, and therefore elegible to be sacrificed is a crucial detail, one source even explicitly states he’s 16 years old, but even without this we should know Theseus was supposed to be a teenager.

#so no he won’t look like Henry Cavill #imagine if The Hunger Games made Katniss an adult woman when she volunteered for Prim #it just wouldn’t be allowed by the Capitol #a child putting their life on the line bc the adults around them failed is a very compelling narrative #and it’s why the ya dystopia (for better or worse) was so popular #to throw that away makes the story less interesting #Theseus doesn’t even need to be sixteen he just needs to be young #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #greek pantheon #perseus #Theseus #Crete #Minos #Minotaur #Greek heroes
