Minotaur

In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, “part man and part bull”. He dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son ICar’sus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.
