Theseus & Sinis Attic red-figure Kylix Greek Mythology Vase 490-480 BC Copy

In Greek mythology, Sinis was a bandit killed by Theseus on his way to Athens.

An Isthmian outlaw, Sinis would force travelers to help him bend pine trees to the ground and then unexpectedly let go, catapulting the victims through the air. Alternative sources say that 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.
