bull's head and a man's body. It lived in a labyrinth on an island called Crete. If anybody went into the labyrinth, they got lost and could never get out again. Every year, people from the island of Minos sent 7 boys and girls into the labyrinth. The Minotaur ate them.

One year, a brave man called Theseus killed the Minotaur. He took a ball of string from a princess and used it to go in and out of the labyrinth.
