Default Thesus the greek reformer

Just for laughs I looked up Thesus.

Theseus (Greek: Θησεύς) was the mythical founder-king of Athens, son of Aethra, and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon, both of whom Aethra lay with in one night. Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order.[1] As Heracles was the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Ionian founding hero, considered by Athenians as their own great reformer.

So we have on this LRL forum a reformer battling the archaic LRL believers.

You don't suppose that Thesus is really Sam Samscafarti the old nemesus of LRLers everywhere.
