Minotaur

A minotaur is a mythological creature from Greek legend that has the head of a bull and the body of a man. One such creature dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.
