In Greek mythology, Sinis was a bandit killed by
Theseus on the road to Athens.
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.
Sinis was the second bandit to be killed by Theseus
as the hero was traveling from Troezen to Athens,
in the very same way that he had previously killed
his own victims.
