History

According to Ovid, the minotaur was part man, part bull. While the famed Roman poet did not specify which half was human and which was bull, the minotaur is usually shown as having the head of a bull and the body of a man. The son of Pasiphae, the minotaur resided in an elaborate maze known as the Labyrinth. There, he would take human sacrifices before his eventual defeat at the hands of the hero Theseus.
