The Minotaur, part man, part bull. The monster under the palace of King Minos was called the Minotaur. The Minotaur had the body of a man and the head of a bull, and ate people. The Minotaur was the child of King Minos' wife, Pasiphae, who the gods caused to fall in love with a white bull in order to punish the King for liking the bull so much he wouldn't sacrifice it. King Minos wisely imprisoned the Minotaur under his palace and later decreed fourteen of Athens' finest young people be fed to the monster every nine years.

How was the Minotaur created?
The Minotaur was the child of Pasiphae, queen of Crete, wife of Minos. She was punished by Poseidon to have a strong desire for a white bull. In some versions, she mistook her husband for a beast, and saw the bull as the king, so she had his child, a monster with a human body and a bull's head. Minos and Pasiphae, ashamed to reveal him to the world, had Dedalus build a castle just for him, the labyrinth. Because the monster feasted on human flesh, Minos would demand from subject lands each year a tribute of seven young men and seven women, that he would then lock inside the labyrinth for the Minotaur to hunt down.

Who is the minotar?
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. :P (^@^)~
