Without Theseus establishing the world's first democracy, we would not have a democracy in America. Also, many other nations would probably still be ruled by kings and queens instead of the people making the decisions.
The legend of Theseus ends as Theseus resigns from his rightful place as king. Instead, he forms the world's first democracy. What result does this event have on the world today?

Theseus is very confident in himself, but he is continually trying to put others before himself. Sigurd is also very confident in himself, but because he was teased in life, he feels he must prove himself to others. (King) Arthur is humble, obedient, and honest, but he is also very young. Sir Launcelot is confident and chivalrous, and although it seems he does things for others, he is also doing them for himself.
