In Greek Mythology, the Minotaur was a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man.

After he ascended the throne of Crete, Minos struggled with his brothers for the right to rule. Minos prayed to Poseidon, God of Sea, to send him a snow-white bull, as a sign of approval. He was to sacrifice the bull in honor of Poseidon but decided to keep it instead because of its beauty. To punish Minos, Poseidon caused Pasiphae, Minos' wife, to fall madly in love with the bull from the sea. She had Daedalus, the famous architect, make a wooden cow for her. Pasiphaë climbed into the decoy in order tocopulate with the white bull. The offspring of their coupling was a monster called the Minotaur.

The minotaur dwelt at the center of the Labryinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction built for King Minos of Crete designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus who were ordered to build it to hold the Minotaur.

Every seven years, the King of Athens, Aegeus, was forced to send seven male youths and seven maidens as a tribute to Minos. These were put into the laryinth, to be fed to the Minotaur.

How do you defeat the Minotar in Mythology Island?

First, to get to the Minotaur on Mythology Island, you have to walk as far left as you can, until you see the sphinx. To get to the gates of Minotaur, you must jump up to the left from the water, to just under the sphinx, on the plinth right next to its tail, and up to the gates. To get inside the gates, you must have the reed pipes you get from Apollo's museum. You have to play the color of the spot on the gates. You defeat the Minotaur by getting through the labyrinth. When you finish the labyrinth, walk to the right and talk to the Minotaur. He will then give you the ring in his nose.
