There was only one minotaur. Here is it's story. Long ago, there was a lady. Somebody got mad at her and cursed her, causing her to go crazy! She ran all over the world and finally married a bull. The bull was pretty gentle and the crazy couple soon had a kid: The minotaur. He was probably so mean because he was locked up in a cave with a craze and a bull. Soon, he was thrown into a maze. He was pretty happy there, because he could cannibalistic-ly eat people. His bull side helped him insta-crush everybody, while his meat eating man part ate 'em!>:(:)
Soon, the king guy fed theseus to the minotaur. Athena gave him thread to find his way through the maze. He soon reached the minotaur, attacked it from behind, and killed it. He then ran out of the maze and married some girl, then left her in the dust. she wept bitterly and aphrodite felt sorry for her. She promised her greater love, and greater love she found (by the way, her name was Ariadne)! Dionysus came and married her, and they lived happily ever after, blah, blah. Theseus was killed.
He became famous because it is an ancient Greek legend. He was in a labyrinth and a boy went to kill him, but people would get lost in the labyrinth and would get eaten. This guy tied a spool of string to the door and held it, slowly unraveling it so he wouldn't get lost. He succeeded in killing the Minotaur and went home.How the minotaur became a minotaur is disgusting. So don't look it up. Ever. And i mean never ever ever ever.Search the story of the minotaur. It is a very interesting story. :)
According to the story of Theseus, Athens was required by Minos of Crete to send 7 young men and 7 young women to be a sacrifice for the Minotaur. It was during the third such event that Theseus slayed the Minotaur. So as few as 14 and as many as 21.
Popular Greek stories are basically Greek myths. For instance, the story of the minotaur.
Costumize the Minotaur.

In the story of Daedalus, the raising action involves Daedalus creating the labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur, the birth of the Minotaur, and King Minos demanding tributes of young Athenians to feed the Minotaur. This ultimately leads to Daedalus helping Theseus navigate the labyrinth to defeat the Minotaur.
It comes from Crete
I think the story you are talking about is the Minotaur which was half-bull half-human. The Minotaur was put in the Labyrinth to kill unwanted travelers. It was killed by Theseus.
the creation of the minotaur... he was percys dad.
The Minotaur was presented as a monster, and not part of the cultural norm for the Minoans. However, since the story we know is Athenian in origin, it's difficult to say if the Minoans had a similar story.
The main points of the Minotaur story are: the Minotaur is a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull, it was kept in the Labyrinth on the island of Crete, it was eventually killed by the hero Theseus with the help of Princess Ariadne's thread, and the Minotaur was the offspring of Queen Pasiphae and a bull sent by Poseidon.
