Minotaur (Μινωταυρος) minotauros
A monster with the body of a human, the head
of a bull with a bull's tail.
It posseses immense strength and has a large
appetite, appetite for human flesh.
The story of the minotaur from Greek mythology
goes like this.
The minotaur was definitely half human half
bull.
He was the son of Queen Pasiphae of Crete
with a majestic bull.
Yep straight on bestiality.
But it was because of a punishment.
Not her fault but her husband's fault, Minos,
the King of Crete.
Minos was supposed to sacrifice the majestic
bull to Poseidon but he kept it for his own
and thus Poseidon cursed Pasiphae into falling
deeply in love with the bull.
One thing led to the other and the minotaur
was then born.
He was named Asterion, after Pasiphae's father,
the past king of Crete.
Shows how much she loved that child.
When he got big, his natural food source is
basically none existent being a different
new kind of species altogether.
So he rejected everything else but craves
human flesh instead.
Minos then with the advice of an oracle had
Daedalus and his son (who actually helped
the Queen with her sexual endevours) to construct
a labyrinth to hold the Minotaur in it and
because of some treaty, the King of Crete
managed to get Athens to send their youths
as sacrifice for the Minotaur.
But one day, prince Theseus, the son of the
King of Athens asked to send him as sacrifice
so that he could kill the creature once and
for all to free Athens from sending their
own youths to their deaths.
When Theseus got to Crete, the Crete princess
Ariadne fell in love with him.
So she helped Theseus by giving him a ball
of string to find his way out after and if
he managed to actually kill the minotaur.
He did and thanks to the ball of string he
actually found his way out.
Thus, the minotaur was no more and Theseus
became Athen's hero.
