Where is the labrynth that has the golden ring of the minotaur in poptropica?
In order to get the ring, you must have the Reed Pipe. Go right until you arrive
at the Sphinx's Garden. Go further left and you will find a colorful door with an ox's
head at the top. Play your Pipe Reed in order (The colorful tiles on the door have
numbers on them). The door will then open. Go inside and you will meet the
Minotaur. He will tell you to go through the maze and THEN you will get the ring.
After you finish the maze, you will receive the Golden Ring.
Hope this helped!!! :)

Why did king Minos ask Daedalus and Icarus to make the labyrinth?
Because no one had ever gotten out before and it had to take a 'genius' to figure it out.
Poseidon, god of the sea, had gives Minos, king of Crete, a bull to be sacrificed to him. Minos liked it so the bull never got sacrificed. Poseidon got mad and caused romance between the bull and Minos' wife. The result of this relationship was the Minotaur, half man, half bull.

The Minoans were roughly contemporary with the Helladic culture. They lived on the Greek mainland and later developed into the Mycenaean civlisation, who would go on to conquer Minoan Crete and integrate some of Minoan culture into their own. There was also the Cycladic culture which lived on the Cyclades in the Aegean, and again is roughly contemporary with the Minoan civilisation.
