 The Minotaur was a monstrous creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull. According to the myth, it was born from the union of Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos of Crete, and a magnificent bull sent by the god Poseidon.⁣

King Minos, seeking to hide the shame of this unnatural offspring, had the architect Daedalus construct a vast labyrinth beneath his palace in Knossos. The labyrinth was a complex maze designed to confine the Minotaur, making it nearly impossible to escape.⁣

Every year, as a form of tribute, seven young men and seven young women from Athens were sent into the labyrinth to be devoured by the Minotaur. This con The Minotaur, A Bull, The Labyrinth, The Architect, Young Men, The Union, The Beast
