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.
