A Minotaur is a creature from Greek mythology, known for having the body of a man and the head of a bull. According to legend, the Minotaur lived in a labyrinth on the island of Crete, where it was kept by King Minos. The creature was born from a curse placed on Minos' wife, Pasiphaë, who fell in love with a bull. The Minotaur is often associated with themes of sacrifice and confinement. In the myth, the hero Theseus eventually slays the Minotaur, using a ball of thread given to him by Ariadne to navigate the labyrinth and find his way back.
