A few words on the name...

Theseus son of Aegeus (or Poseidon) and father of “scientific wrestling” is notorious for crossing the maze and slaying the Minotaur. This brave and astute mythological hero also known for his righteous foreign policy and sense of justice was not entirely perfect. He was fond of kidnapping (abducted Helen of Sparta when she was 12) and had terrible cognitive mapping skills. We are quick to discard Daedalus' genius and forget that Theseus did not “solve” the maze. In fact, Theseus was so incapable of spatial updating that his movement inside the maze depended on the magical ball of thread given by Ariadne, daughter of King Minos.
