The tale of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth is a famous story in Greek legend that revolves around King Minos of Crete. According to myth, the Minotaur—a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull—was born from the union of Minos' wife and a sacred bull. To contain this beast, Minos commissioned the architect Daedalus to construct an elaborate Labyrinth. The story culminates with the hero Theseus entering the Labyrinth to defeat the Minotaur, symbolizing the victory of humanity and courage over fear and chaos, while also exploring themes of identity and destiny.
