In Greek mythology, the Minotaur, a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull, was born from a cursed union between Queen Pasiphaë and a majestic bull. The Minotaur was confined to the Labyrinth to hide its monstrous nature. It fed on humans as a means of survival, demanded by King Minos as tribute from Athens, reflecting the themes of sacrifice and the consequences of divine punishment in the myth. Eating humans symbolizes the Minotaur's brutality and the tragic fate of those who were sacrificed to appease him.
