Minotaur

Minotaur The Minotaur was an evil and hateful monster that had the head and shoulders of a bull and the body of a man. It lived in the labyrinth designed by Daedalus. King Minos sacrificed young Athenians to the monster until it was finally killed by Theseus. After killing the monster he found his way out of the labyrinth using a magic ball of twine that had been given to him by King Minos' daughter,Ariadne. The Minotaur was a creature with a head of a bull and a body of a human. This creature was born of Pasiphae, Minos' wife, and a white bull sent by Poseidon who was angry with Minos. Minos was so disgusted and embarrassed by his wife and the Minotaur that he ordered Daedalus to hide them. Daedalus built a maze called the Labyrinith where they were to live and never escape. One of Minotaur's half brothers ordered that seven youths and seven maidens from Athens be let into the maze every ninth year to try and kill the Minotaur. The Minotaur survived by capturing and eating these youngsters because they could not find their way out of the maze.
