The Minotaur (from the Greek ????ta???? [Minotaurs]) is a monster from Greek mythology, with the body of a man and the head of a bull. His name means "Bull of Minos", and he was the son of Pasiphae and the Bull of Crete. He was locked in a labyrinth designed by the craftsman Daedalus, made expressly to keep him located in the city of Knossos on the island of Crete. For many years, seven men and seven other women were taken to the labyrinth as a sacrifice to be the beast's food, until his life ended at the hands of the hero Theseus. The fourteen young people were interned in the labyrinth, where they wandered lost until they were found by the Minotaur. The myth has its most complete version in the Mythological Library of Apollodorus. Bust of the Minotaur in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. There were several versions about the affront that caused the wife of Minos, Pasífae, to have the need to join the Bull of Crete, feeling for him a senseless passion which led to her pregnancy. The most widespread version says that Minos, son of Zeus, asked for support from the god Poseidon so that his people would acclaim him as an early king, since his father Asterion was the ancient and deceased king of Crete. Poseidon listened to him and made a beautiful white bull rise from the seas, which Minos promised to sacrifice in his name. However, Minos being amazed by the qualities of the beautiful white bull, he hid it among his herd and sacrificed another bull in his place hoping that the god of the ocean would not notice the change. Knowing this, Poseidon was filled with rage, and to take revenge, he inspired in Pasiphae a desire as unusual as it was irrepressible for the beautiful white bull that Minos kept for himself. To consummate her union with the bull, Pasiphae required the help of Daedalus, who built a wooden cow...
