The mythical creature Minotaur is half man and half bull. In Greek mythology, it is said to have been born from the coupling of Pasiphaƫ (wife of King Minos of Crete) and a cursed bull. The Minotaur was famously trapped in a maze called the Labyrinth, constructed by Daedalus, and was eventually killed by Theseus. The Minotaur symbolizes the primal, wild side of humanity and has remained a popular figure in literature and pop culture.
