This movie is an adaptation of the ancient Greek story of Theseus and the Minotaur. In the story, the Minotaur was born after King Minos' wife had sex with a bull and the beast was kept in a labyrinth built by inventor Daedalus. When King Minos' son was killed in Athens, Minos ordered that the Athenians sacrifice their children to the Minotaur every nine years as recompense; this practice continued until Theseus - the Prince of Athens and son of sea god Poseidon - travelled to Crete and killed it.
