The Minotaur, a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull, was born from the union of Queen Pasiphaë and a sacred bull sent by Poseidon. King Minos, ashamed of the monster, imprisoned it in a labyrinth built by Daedalus. Every nine years, Athens was forced to send seven young men and women as sacrifices. The hero Theseus volunteered to end this horror, and, with the help of Minos' daughter Ariadne, killed the Minotaur and found his way out of the maze using a thread.
