Mino Reitano died on January 27, 2009, in Agrate Brianza, Lombardy, Italy.
Yes, the minotaur was originally a greek legend. It was the off spring of Cretan Bull and Pasiphae.
The Minotaur was the child of Pasiphae, queen of Crete, wife of Minos.
She was punished by Poseidon to have a strong desire for a white bull. In some versions, she mistook her husband for a beast, and saw the bull as the king, so she had his child, a monster with a human body and a bull's head. Minos and Pasiphae, ashamed to reveal him to the world, had Dedalus build a castle just for him, the labyrinth. Because the monster feasted on human flesh, Minos would demand from subject lands each year a tribute of seven young men and seven women, that he would then lock inside the labyrinth for the Minotaur to hunt down.
