Minotaur

Minotaur In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was half human and half bull. He lived in the center of the Labyrinth, which was a complex labyrinth-shaped structure built for the king of Crete Minos and designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, who were ordered to build it to contain the Minotaur. ... The historic site of Knossos is generally considered to be the site of a labyrinth. Ultimately, the Minotaur was killed by Theseus.
