The minotaur was a man with the head of a bull. Poseidon gave a white bull to king Minos, who was supposed to sacrifice it to the god.

The resulting child was the minotaur, or "Minos's bull".


Who would use the word labyrinth in a sentence?

The internal ear, where you will find the labyrinth, is highly complex. a few pople but not many as most would use maze. you would only truly use labyrinth if you were: a builder, maze designer, refering to history (the minotuar and the labyrinth). refering to the book/movie of the same name trying to detail a particularly hard 3d maze. it should be noted a maze is commonly just a 2d drawing or something one can get abovr and work out in a birds eye view. a true labyrinth on the other hand is designed to be taller than the person inside it and not able to be worked out short of exploring through it
