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).

He presented a spiral seashell and asked for a string to be run through it. When he reached Kamikos, King Cocalus, knowing Daedalus would be able to solve the riddle, privately fetched the old man to him. He tied the string to an ant which, lured by a drop of honey at one end, walked through the seashell stringing it all the way through. Minos then knew Daedalus was in the court of King Cocalus and demanded he be handed over. Cocalus managed to convince Minos to take a bath first, where Cocalus' daughters killed Minos. In some versions, Daedalus himself poured boiling water on Minos and killed him.
