King Minos had the Labyrinth built to contain the Minotaur, a monstrous creature that was half-man and half-bull, born from his wife Pasiphaë's unnatural union with a bull. The Labyrinth, designed by the architect Daedalus, was an elaborate maze that prevented the Minotaur from escaping and terrorizing Crete. The construction of the Labyrinth also served to demonstrate Minos's power and control over both the beast and his kingdom.
the Labyrinth (where later the Minotaur was confined)
The Labyrinth, at Knossos on Crete.
The Labyrinth, built by Daedalus. The Minotaur was kept in this maze until Theseus killed it.
No, the Minotaur was the son of King Minos' wife and a bull. He was imprisoned in the labyrinth on Crete.
If you mean his wings, then it was to escape his imprisonment by King Minos for the knowledge he might give out about the labyrinth (which Daedalus had created). If you mean the labyrinth, then it is because King Minos made him create it so he could imprison his wife's son, the Minotaur.

Minos
Minos (Greek: Μίνωας) was a king of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa. He ordered Daedalus and his son Icarus to build the Labyrinth where the Minotaur lived. (Minotaur= Mino-taur, is Greek for Bull of Minos).
Daedalus was hired by King Minos of Crete to design and build the Labyrinth to contain the Minotaur.
I've never met King Minos. King Minos ordered the building of the labyrinth.
The myth says that King Minos forced Daedalus to build the labyrinth to house the dreaded Minotaur.dedleaus built the labrinth to get around faster.
In the Labyrinth.
In the labyrinth at Knossos palace, Crete. King Minos had Daedalus (the best architect ever lived) to build a labyrinth (a complicated maze,one you will never escape) to hold his step-son, the Minotaur. So the Minotaur resides in the Labyrinth. In the labyrinth beneath King Minos' Palace in Knossos. He did not live long.
None King Minos of Crete commanded Daedalus to build the labyrinth to hid the minotaur the offspring of his wife and a bull from Poseidon
Bc King Minos wanted it built and King Minos was a King during the Mythology period
The labyrinth was created by the inventor Daedalus, and was then kept in the maze by King Minos of Crete. King Minos used the minotaur as sacrifices of young men.
If you're talking about the labyrinth that held the Minotaur, then it was Daedalus, who created the labyrinth for King Minos of Crete at Knossos.
