Theseus Fighting the Minotaur

In this dynamic depiction of a classical myth, Theseus stands poised to impale the Minotaur, a legendary monster with the body of a man and the head of a bull. The Minotaur (literally, the bull of Minos) was the cursed son of Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos of Crete. The beast inhabited a labyrinth that was his hunting grounds, and until Theseus, everyone who entered was doomed to death.
