* The broad strokes of the myths generally all happened. He unintentionally killed his father, and eventually his own son. * He had several disastrous marriages and even more bastard relationships. I like to think in the Hades version of events they're the ones who broke up with him, for what it's worth. * Pirithous was basically Asterius v0.5 in the sense of being one of Theseus's very few genuine confidants, and was still the King of Lapiths and God of Bad Influences. Theseus presently tries very hard not to think about him, because there's no way Big H is going to let him out, ever. * According to legend, Theseus did not die as King and was murdered while out of power. The experience of losing popularity in Athens was pretty much all his worst fears come true, and why being replaced is such a sore spot for him. * Despite it being easy to argue as one, Theseus doesn't consider killing Asterius to be a mercy killing, in line with him generally not pitying Asterius. * He has a surprisingly capable singing voice because his VA has been direct about Theseus being Ancient Greek Gaston and that man had pipes. * Theseus smells like lilac and gooseberries laurel leaves and the balsam resins used as perfume by ancient royalty. Oh and a shitton of olive oil.
