The creature resided in the twisting maze of the labyrinth, where he was offfered a regular sacrifice of youths and maids to satisfy his cannibalistic hunger. He was eventually destroyed by the hero Theseus. The Minotauros' proper name Asterion, "the starry one," suggests he was associated with the constellation Tauros.
