Minotaur

The Minotaur [meaning bull of Minos] is a Greek hybrid that lurked under King Minos's palace, in the maze created by Daedalus. It's appearance was that of a man with the head of a bull. Minos demanded a sacrifice from Athens, seven boys and seven girls, for the Minotaur. Prince Theseus of Athens volunteered to be one of the sacrifice's in order to slay the beast. Princess Ariadne, Minos's daughter, fell in love with Theseus and gave him a ball of thread to tie at the entrance so when he killed the monster, he could find his way out.
