The monstrous offspring of Pasiphae and the white bull, the Minotaur was sentenced to by Minos to the gigantic Labyrinth near Knossos. Later, Theseus would venture through the labyrinth with the aid of Ariadne's thread. The journey would see Theseus battle the Minotaur, and ultimately slay it with the sword of Aegeus, before abandoning Ariadne on the island of Noxos.
