SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
The Minotaur was the son of Pasiphae, wife of the king of Crete. According to legend, the queen, daughter of sun-god Helios, brought him into the world by mating with a white bull, sent by Poseidon. King Minos imprisoned him in a maze-like underground shelter, a labyrinth designed by Daedalus. His real name was Asterion or Asterios. Theseus, son of Aegeus the king of Athens, killed the beast with the help of Ariadne, daughter of Minos and Pasiphae. The sculpture (photo) of the Minotaur that was found in Plaka, is displayed at the National Archaeological Museum.
