I believe the answer is:

theseus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greek hero' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for theseus that I've seen before include "Ancient hero" , "classical hero" , "Attic hero" , "Minotaur-slaying hero" , "Athenian king" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
