The maze in which the Minotaur was confined. Something highly intricate or convoluted in character, composition, or construction: a labyrinth of rules and regulations. The Minotaur Before he ascended the throne of Crete, Minos struggled with his brothers for the right to rule. Minos prayed to Poseidon to send him a snow-white bull, as a sign of approval by the gods for his reign. He promised to sacrifice the bull as an offering, and as a symbol of subservience. A beautiful white bull rose from the sea, but when Minos saw it, he coveted it for himself. He assumed that Poseidon would not mind, so he kept it and sacrificed the best specimen from his herd instead. When Poseidon learned about the deceit, he made Pasipha, Minos' wife, fall madly in love with the bull. She had Daedalus, the famous architect, make a wooden cow for her. Pasipha climbed into the decoy and fooled the white bull. The offspring of their lovemaking was a monster called the Minotaur. The creature had the head and tail of a bull on the body of a man. It caused such terror and destruction on Crete that Daedalus was summoned again, but this time by Minos himself. He ordered the architect to build a gigantic, intricate labyrinth from which escape would be impossible. The Minotaur was captured and locked in the labyrinth. Every year for nine years, seven youths and maidens came as tribute from Athens. These young people were also locked in the labyrinth for the Minotaur to feast upon. When the Greek hero Theseus reached Athens, he learned of the Minotaur and the sacrifices, and wanted to end this. He volunteered to go to Crete as one of the victims. Upon his arrival in Crete, he met Ariadne, Minos's daughter, who fell in love with him. She promised she would provide the means to escape from the maze if he agreed to marry her. When Theseus did, she gave him a simple ball of thread, which he was to fasten close to the entrance of the maze. He made his way through the maze, while unwinding the thread, and he stumbled upon the sleeping Minotaur. He beat it to death and led the others back to the entrance by FOLLOWING THE THREAD Regards Boondog

Minotaur je bio mitsko čudovište koje je imalo ljudsko tijelo i glavu bika Živio je na Kreti, u jednom labirintu, a ondje ga je zatvorio kralj Minos. Prije nego što je postao kralj, Minos je od boga Posejdona zatražio znak da će on, a ne njegov brat, doći na prijestolje. Posejdon se složio te je poslao bijelog bika, ali pod uvjetom da ga Minos njemu žrtvuje. Prekrasan bik izišao je iz mora, a Minosu je bio tako lijep da je radije žrtvovao drugoga bika, misleći da Posejdon neće primijetiti. Posejdon se razbjesnio te je učinio da se Minosova žena Pasifaja ludo zaljubi u bika, a bika je učinio divljim. Tako je Pasifaja začela i rodila polubika i polučovjeka - Minotaura. Pasifaja ga je odgajala dok je bio dijete, ali kako je rastao, tako je postao bjesniji. Delfijska proročica rekla je Dedalu (najvještijem letaču) da sagradi labirint u kojem će držati Minotaura. Divljeg Minotaura ubio je Tezej uz pomoć Arijadne. Ona se, naime, zaljubila u Tezeja koji je s drugim Atenjanima bio zatvoren u labirintu te mu je dala klupko vune čiji je trag slijedio i spasio se. Osim toga, dala mu je i magični mač kojim je ubio Minotaura.
