Shakespeare drew on many cultures and myths to compose his works. Greek mythology was one of his inspirations, especially in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
An example of this is the way he uses the Greek hero Theseus as a character in his play. As in Greek myth, Shakespeare shows Theseus as a very masculine and patriarchal figure. This is underlined by the way he interacts with the women at play.
In addition, Theseus' strength and heroism are also featured in the play. This maintains fidelity to his representation in Greek myth.
