In Greek mythology, the Minotaur (, ; , , Etruscan Tevrumines), was a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, a being "part man and part bull." The Minotaur dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.
