Where is a Minotaur mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible?
The 'minotaur'(meaning:"Bull of Minos") is not mentioned in the Bible, anywhere. In Greek mythology, this creature (a man with a bull's head)was the offspring of King Minos(King of Crete) and his wife. The Minotaur lived in a maze (or labyrinth), and every nine years, 14 children from Athens were to be sacrificed to him; released into the labyrinth to get lost and then devoured.A number of Christendom's churches and religious buildings pattern their design after this pagan labyrinth (like the Mirepoix Cathedral's maze which features a central Minotaur), and the churches adapted the symbolism for their own use, but they are nowhere mentioned in the Bible.
