The Minotaur

The Minotaur and his descriptive description that desribes
THE MINOTAUR
It all started with some bulls, and then some gods joined in later
Oh, and crete is a very tiny microscopic-if-seen-from-space-instead-of-while-standing-on-it island located in the middle of somewhere, specifically the eastern mediterranean sea.
Anyways, Minos wanted Poseidon to show some sign of support for his ruling of Crete.
Poseidon responded by sending him a beautiful white bull, but it was supposed to be sacrifaced afterwards.
Against the god's request, Minos changed his mind and decided to keep the bull.
Instead of sacrificing the white bull, he kept it and sacrificed another bull to take its offering place.
...and then he was born
The Minotaur is the offspring of a human mother and a father bull.
The Minotaur and his terriorizing terrior that was terrior and terriorizing
After containment, they payed tribute to the Minotaur every 9 years by putting 7 youths and maidens into the labyrinth for the Minotaur to eat.
Then there was Theseus
A hero named Theseus had heard of the minotaur and his terrible deeds when he'd traveled to Athens. He opposed the creature and decided to take action by volunteering to go be eaten by the minotaur.
The situational situation was solved by a solution that solves
Theseus was given a ball of thread that he tied to the entrance of the labyrinth. While making his way through the labyrinth he found the sleeping minotaur and beat it to death.
He led all survivors to the exit.
