Athens
Theseus was the hero who defeated the Minotaur with his bare hands.
It wasn't a Greek god that defeated the minotaur but it was however a hero named Theseus who defeated him in the Labyrinth.
I think you mean "killed the Minotaur", because the Minotaur wasn't "found", it was born to Minos' wife, the Queen of Crete. In that case, it was Theseus
In Cretan mythology, Theseus slayed the minotaur. He did it with the help of a ball of string and Ariadne, who knew the minotaur in some ways too intimately. Not that way. The minotaur is a half bul half man . http://thenorthnode.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/theseus-and-the-minotaur/ Very nice looking blogsite, with a synopsis of the myth with a bit of discussion concerning wandering up that particular emotional labyrinthine alley surrounding it.
Theseus was the person that killed the Minotaur!
He was to sail with white sails
The famous Greek hero who defeated the Minotaur was Theseus. He ventured into the labyrinth on the island of Crete, where the Minotaur, a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull, resided. With the help of Ariadne, who provided him with a thread to navigate the labyrinth, Theseus was able to slay the Minotaur and escape. His victory symbolized the triumph of human ingenuity and bravery over monstrous challenges.
Yes, in mythology, Theseus killed the Minotaur.
Theseus was from Athens. He fought the Minotaur in Crete.
Theseus was the son of the King of Athens, Aegeas. Athens was defeated by Knossos (in Crete, ruled by Minos) and the tribute to be paid was 12 virgin youths (6 male, 6 female) to be sacrificed to the minotaur every 9 years. Theseus volunteered to go in order that he might kill the Minotaur and free Athens from this burden.
Theseus killed the minotaur
No, Theseus killed the Minotaur, took Ariadne by the hand and returned to Athens.
