Let’s not forget that, after he did this and returned to Greece, he not only forgot the ONE thing he promised he would do when he came back (he was to put up black sails if he was successful, and by forgetting that, his father saw the white sails and assumed his son was dead and committed suicide immediately) but ALSO, Theseus later decided that, as a man in his (IIRC) fifties, he needed a wife who was a little younger, so he sailed off and kidnapped Helen of Sparta (the first man — though neither the last nor the most famous — to do so), when she was between seven and ten years old. He figured that he would groom her until she was old enough to marry.

Also, he thought it was a jolly good plan to try to kidnap Persephone so that the dude who helped him kidnap a child could marry the queen of hell. His punishment was that he had to sit down for a long time. He tried to steal the wife of the GOD OF THE DEAD, and his punishment was literally a time-out (though, perhaps Hades was somewhat sympathetic to Theseus’ whole ride-or-die mentality on abducting women, since the whole reason Persephone was even in the underworld was because Hades abducted her and forced her to marry him)

The Minotaur being the son of the Queen. The queen that lusted after a bull so much that had Icarus’ dad, the greatest inventor at the time, to build her a hollow cow machine where she could get inside and copulate with said bull. And then Icarus and his dad got imprisoned in a tower by the cuckolded king. And dad dearest built the famous wax + feather wings to escape.
