In Greek Mythology, a monster of Crete with the body of a man and the head of a bull. It was the offspring of Pasiphaë, __#|wife__ of King Minos , and a snow-white bull sent by Poseidon and intended for sacrifice. When Minos kept it instead, the god punished him by making his wife fall in love with the bull. The Minotaur (whose name means “Minos bull”) was imprisoned in the Labyrinth built by Daedalus . After defeating Athens in a war, Minos forced the Athenians to send human tribute to be devoured by the Minotaur. The third year the tribute was sent, Theseus volunteered to go, and with the help of Ariadne  he killed the monster.

The Minotaur is one of Hades minions. The Minotaur resembled the darkness that wanted to kill Percy Jackson. The Minotaur played a huge role in The Lighting Thief. Percy at this time did not believe in Mythology being real. This also resembled the great strength Percy has inside of him.
