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. Wikipedia Minotaurus (-i, m.; Graece Μινώταυρος) est monstrum ex fabulis Graecis notum, filius Pasiphais et cuiusdam tauri, qui Cretae in labyrintho habitans iuvenes Athenaeos edebat, sed a Theseo, Ariadna adiuvante, occisus est. Eius nomen proprium est Asterius vel Asterio. Vicipaedia
Ἡ δὲ Πασιφάη Ἀστέριον ἐγέννησε τὸν κληθέντα Μινώταυρον. Οὗτος εἶχε ταύρου πρόσωπον, τὰ δὲ λοιπὰ ἀνδρός· Μίνως δὲ ἐν τῷ λαβυρίνθῳ κατά τινας χρησμοὺς κατακλείσας αὐτὸν ἐφύλαττεν. Ἦν δὲ ὁ λαβύρινθος, ὃν Δαίδαλος κατεσκεύασεν, οἴκημα καμπαῖς πολυπλόκοις πλανῶν τὴν ἔξοδον. Ὁ δὲ Μινώταυρος ἤσθιε ἀνθρώπους, οἱ γὰρ Ἀθηναῖοι, ὧν ἐκράτει ὁ Μίνως, δέκα παρθένους καὶ δέκα νεανίας κατ᾿ ἔτος εἰς Κρήτην τῷ Μινωταύρῳ ἔπεμπον. Ἡ δ᾿ Ἀριάδνη λίνον εἰσιόντι Θησεῖ παρέχει· τοῦτο ἐξάψας Θησεὺς τῆς θύρας ἐφελκόμενος εἰσῄει. Καταλαβὼν δὲ Μινώταυρον ἐν ἐσχάτῳ μέρει τοῦ λαβυρίνθου παίων πυγμαῖς ἀπέκτεινεν, ἐφελκόμενος δὲ τὸ λίνον πάλιν ἐξῄει. Ἀπολλόδωρος
