Minotaur

The Minotaur is a mythological creature from Greek legend, having the body of a man and the head of a bull. It was born from the union of Queen Pasiphae and a sacred bull, and was kept in the Labyrinth—a complex maze designed by Daedalus—to contain it. The Minotaur was known for its ferocity and would prey on visitors sent as part of a tribute to Athens. The hero Theseus eventually entered the Labyrinth, defeated the Minotaur, and escaped, symbolizing victory over chaos and primal instincts.
