The Minotaur (Minos Taurus) was the Bull of the great king Minos (son of Zeus, and later one of three Judges of the Underworld). He was the offspring of Minos' Wife and the Bull bestowed upon Minos by the god Poseidon, much to the chagrin of Minos. Minos kept the great Minotaur despite his embarrassment, but hid him, through the help of the greatest Engineer of his time: Daedalus. Daedalus created a giant structure from where the half-bull, half-man, could not escape - the famous maze. He makes his appearance on the myth of Daedalus and Icarus (Daedalus having built the great maze), and Theseus (the main who slew the Minotaur).
