According to Greek mythology, the Minotaur was the son of the Goddess of Crete and a mighty bull who came from the sea. The Minotaur possessed a human body as well as a bull’s head and tail. King Minos was so outraged by this development that he constructed the Labyrinth, a complex maze designed to imprison him.
