Who defeated the Minotaur?
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.
Where does a minotaur live?
The Minotaur (Minos Taurus) was the Bull of the great king Minos (son of Zeus, and later one of three Judges of the Underworld). He was the offspring of Minos' Wife and the Bull bestowed upon Minos by the god Poseidon, much to the chagrin of Minos. Minos kept the great Minotaur despite his embarrassment, but hid him, through the help of the greatest Engineer of his time: Daedalus. Daedalus created a giant structure from where the half-bull, half-man, could not escape - the famous maze. He makes his appearance on the myth of Daedalus and Icarus (Daedalus having built the great maze), and Theseus (the main who slew the Minotaur).
What was the Minotaur the God or Goddess of?
The Minotaur was a bull-headed monster from Crete, offspring of the Cretan Bull and Pasiphae, who was locked in a labyrinth by King Minos and offered a regular sacrifice of maidens and youths to satisfy his cannibalistic hunger, until he was destroyed by Theseus. The Minotaur's proper name was Asterion, which means "starry one", suggesting he was associated with the constellation Taurus. The name Minotaur's origin is rather simple. Generally the Minotaur "belonged" to King Minos of Crete. And Taurus means "bull" in Greek. So in general, is basically meant "Minos's Bull".

Why is medusa apart of the greek mythology?
Medusa, along with other monsters of Greek myth, represented specific aspects of the world that the Greeks felt they conquered. Normally, monsters were slain by heroes, usually the founder-kings of the major metropolitan centers. Perseus (Argos) slew Medusa, Theseus (Athens) slew the Minotaur, Bellerophon (Corinth) slew the Chimera, etc. Medusa personified the unknown dangers of the sea. The Greeks, being a major seafaring people, had conquered the sea (in their estimation) and were no longer afraid to travel across the vastness of the Mediterranean Sea (as opposed to staying within eyeshot of the shore - which is what people did for centuries). The story of Perseus and Medusa shows him conquering not only one, but two monsters associated with the sea (the second being the Ketos - the monster to which Andromeda was being sacrificed).
