Theseus is destined to be a hero, he just knows it. He's willing to kill anyone along the way in order to prove it. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
