Minotaur
The palace of the Minotaurs
The Minotaur (Minotaurus in latin) is a mythical creature portrayed in Classical times with the head of a bull and the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, a being "part man and part bull". The Minotaur dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.
The Rhyton in the back was found in the archaological Minoan site of Knossos. It's a replica ofcourse.
If you're interested in mythology or history I can only , with much respect, recommend a visit to Crete, the archaeological sites an museums there.
