The Minotaur was a famous monster in Greek Mythology, the son of Queen Pasiphae of Crete and a white bull. His birth name, Asterion, in ancient Greek means 'starry one' and suggests a link with the bull constellation Taurus.
He was imprisoned in the labyrinth at Crete by King Minos and fed a yearly sacrificial offering of Athenian youths.
Eventually, the Minotaur was slain by the Athenian prince Theseus with the help of the KIng's daughter Ariadne.
