A:In Greek mythology, the Minotaur as the Greeks imagined him, was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man or, as described by Ovid, "part man and part bull". He dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction built for King Minos of Crete and designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus who were ordered to build it to hold the Minotaur. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.

What is called half man and half bull?
In Greek mythology the creature that was part man, part bull, was known as the Minotaur. THE MINOTAUROS (or Minotaur) was a bull-headed manlike creature born to Queen Pasiphae of Crete after she had sex with a bull. It lived in the twisting maze of the labyrinth, here he was regularly given young men and girls to satisfy his cannibalistic hunger. The hero Theseus ended up defeating it. The Minotauros' proper name is Asterion, "the starry one."The Minotaur however was not a god he was a monster of mythology. A Minotaur is a creature from Greek mythology that is half human and half bull. It was said to have lived at the center of a great labyrinth (an elaborate maze) built for King Minos. In Greek mythology the minotaur was eventually killed by Theseus. "Minotaur" is Greek for "Bull of Minos". Firstly, King Minos built the maze below his palace. Secondly, the Minotaur came into existence when King Minos asked Poseidon for a bull for sacrifice. When the bull came out of the sea, Minos took it and thanked Poseidon a lot. But when Minos broke a vow that he'd made previously, the god made Minos's wife fall in love with the bull. She had an affair with it and out came the Minotaur. Minos was terrified and locked the beast away in the maze. Every nine years he would sacrifice children to the monster to keep it at bay.

What monster lived under King Minos' palace in Crete?
The Minotaur, part man, part bull. The monster under the palace of King Minos was called the Minotaur. The Minotaur had the body of a man and the head of a bull, and ate people. The Minotaur was the child of King Minos' wife, Pasiphae, who the gods caused to fall in love with a white bull in order to punish the King for liking the bull so much he wouldn't sacrifice it. King Minos wisely imprisoned the Minotaur under his palace and later decreed fourteen of Athens' finest young people be fed to the monster every nine years. This led to Theseus, Prince of Athens, setting out to kill the Minotaur, which is another story; I won't spoil it for you by telling you the end.
