Adaptations of the myth
Theseus with the head of Minotaur

Racine's Phèdre (1677) features Theseus as well as Hippolytus and the title character.

Mary Renault's The King Must Die (1958) is a dramatic retelling of the Theseus legend through the return from Crete to Athens. While fictional, it is generally faithful to the spirit and flavor of the best-known variations of the original story. The sequel is The Bull from the Sea (1962), about the hero's later career. Theseus is also a prominent character as the Duke of Athens in William Shakespeare's plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Two Noble Kinsmen. Hippolyta also appears in both plays.

John Dempsey's "Ariadne's Brother: A Novel on the Fall of Bronze Age Crete" (Athens, Greece: Kalendis 1996, 679pp., ISBN 960-219-062-0) tells the Minoan Cretan version of these events based on both archaeology and myth.

Steven Pressfield's Last of the Amazons is a fictional account of Theseus meeting and subsequent marriage to Antiope and the ensuing war. Theseus also appears as a major character in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Knight's Tale

Jorge Luis Borges also presents an interesting variation of the myth in a short story, "La Casa de Asterion" ("The House of Asterion"), which depends for its full effect on the reader's not realizing until the end that Asterion, the narrator, is the Minotaur.

Theseus is played by Bob Mathias in the 1960 film Minotaur, the Wild Beast of Crete.

Tom Hardy played Theseus in the 2006 film Minotaur.

In the 2011 Tarsem Singh film, Immortals, Theseus (played by Henry Cavill) leads a war against the Titans.

Theseus appears as a boss character in the game God of War 2. In the game Theseus is charged with protecting the Sisters of Fate by acting as the keeper of the enormous Steeds of Time. Kratos battles and kills him to retrieve the Horsekeeper's Key in his possession. Ironically Theseus employs Minotaurs to attack Kratos.
