Theseus and Sinis, Attic red-figure kylix, 490–480 BC, Staatliche Antikensammlungen (Inv. 8771). In Greek mythology, Sinis (Σίνις) was a bandit killed by Theseus. Described as a giant, Sinis was a son of Poseidon, nicknamed "pinebender". Sinis would force travelers to help him bend pine trees to the ground and then unexpectedly let go, catapulting the victim through the air. Some say he tied people to two pine trees that he bent down to the ground, then let the trees go, tearing his victims apart. This led to him being called Pityocamptes (Πιτυοκάμπτης = "pine-bender"). During The Labors of Theseus, he traveled from Troezen to Athens, and in his second deed Theseus killed Sinis in the same way. Theseus then raped Sinis' daughter, Perigune, who later bore Theseus' son, Melanippus. She later married Deioneus of Oechalia.[1] According to Pausanias Sini's pine was still alive and known during his times. References ^ Ovid, VII, 440.
