This cameo represents Theseus. On the helmet is sculpted Theseus defeating the Centaur. Theseus was the founder-king of Athens, son of Aegeus and Poseidon, both of whom Aethra had slept with in one night. Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus, or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order. As Heracles was the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Athenian founding hero.
