In Greek mythology, the Minotaur (Greek: M n tauros), as the Greeks imagined him, was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man or, as described by Ovid, "part man and part bull." He dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction built for King Minos of Crete and designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus who were ordered to build it to hold the Minotaur. The Minotaur was eventually killed by Theseus, the son of Aegeas. The term Minotaur derives from the Greek: (M n tauros), Etymologically it is a compound of the name (Minos) and the noun (tauros) "bull", thus it translated as "Bull of Minos". The bull was known in Crete as Asterion, a name shared with Minos's foster-father. Minotaur was originally a proper noun, referring to this mythic creature. The use of minotaur as a common noun to refer to members of a generic race of bull-headed monsters developed only in 20th-century fiction.
