context: The minotaur (kr. Μινώταυρος) was a fairy-tale creature in Greek mythology, half human, half bull. Crossed by a cross between Queen Pasifae of Crete and the White Bull, King Minos commanded the monster to be thrown into a large labyrinth where 12 Athenian sacrifices were taken every nine years. Eventually, the coming king of Athens, Theseus, killed the monster and put an end to the Cretan repression in Athens. The ancient Greek tale of Minotaur and Theseus may be a symbolic account of how Athens was liberated from Cretan Bronze Age Minoan culture. The minotaur is Greek and means "ox of minos".
