Theseus had promised his father King Aegeus that if he should survive the ordeals of Crete's labyrinth, then he would return with sails of white. King Aegeus awaited on a cliff every day looking out at the sea waiting for the return of his son. When the fateful day came, King Aegeus recognized the ship and noticed the black sails. Believing his son had perished in Crete, King Aegeus threw himself off cliff and died in the sea. Thus, Greece's main sea became the Aegean sea.
Theory #3: What if Theseus did change the sails to white? However, Aegeus is betrayed by an advisor (who is under the influence of Queen Medea), and is pushed off the cliff while waiting for the return of his son(s). This at least gives Theseus competency and keep his heroic karma clean!
A cinematic digital painting depicts a heroic ancient Greek figure on a ship, as a distant figure tragically falls from a cliff. Dramatic lighting and a rich color palette create an epic scene.
