Minotaur bust (National Archaeological Museum of Athens)

In Greek mythology, the Minotaur (Ancient Greek: Μινώταυρος; in Latin as Minotaurus) is a mythical creature portrayed in Classical times with the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, a being "part man and part bull". He dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.
