King Minos of Crete forced seven boys and girls into the labyrinth as a punishment for the death of his son, Androgeus, who was killed in Athens. To avenge his son's death, he demanded that Athens send these tributes every nine years as a sacrifice to the Minotaur, a monstrous creature housed within the labyrinth. This act was both a demonstration of his power and a means to quell any potential uprising against him. The labyrinth, designed by Daedalus, served as a secure prison for the Minotaur, ensuring the tributes could not escape.
