Detailed explanation-1: -Minos believed that the god would accept a substitute sacrifice. To punish Minos, Poseidon made Minos’ wife Pasiphaë fall in love with the bull. Pasiphaë had the craftsman Daedalus fashion a hollow wooden cow, which she climbed into to mate with the bull. The monstrous Minotaur was the result.
Detailed explanation-2: -Minotaur, Greek Minotauros (“Minos’s Bull”), in Greek mythology, a fabulous monster of Crete that had the body of a man and the head of a bull. It was the offspring of Pasiphae, the wife of Minos, and a snow-white bull sent to Minos by the god Poseidon for sacrifice.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Athenian Prince Theseus was the hero who slayed the Minotaur. Theseus was the brave, strong and fearless son of King Aegeus, and he was born and raised in the city of Athens.
