This was a maneating monster that was half man and half bull. King Minos had a daughter named Adriadne. She fell in love with Theseus. He was the son of King Aegus of Athens. Adriadne told Theseus that she would help him kill the Minotaur if he would marry her. Theseus agreed. To help Theseus get through the Labyrinth, Adriadne gave Theseus a magic ball of thread. At the entrance she tied one end of the thread to the lintel and told Theseus to unroll the ball as he went. By following the thread back, he would be able to find his way out. Theseus did this and killed the Minotaur. He and Adriadne left by ship. Minos was angry over this. He imprisoned Daedalus, the Labyrinth's architect, and his son Icarus in the labyrinth. Daedalus made wax wings so they could fly out of the maze. Daedalus warned his son not to fly to high, but in the escape Icarus flew too near the sun and the wax wings melted. He fell into the sea and to his death. Palace of Knossos (1700-1400 B.C.)
