Greek Mythology and King Minos's Labryinth

From Youtube Site - Summary the appears  after video, documenting its sourcing and fair use.

"In Greek mythology, the Minotaur (Greek: Μῑνώταυρος, Latin: Minotaurus), as the Greeks imagined him, was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man or, as described by Ovid, "part man and part bull". He dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction built for King Minos of Crete and designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus who were ordered to build it to hold the Minotaur. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian founder-hero Theseus."
