Now this was really fun because our story was themed around Theseus and
the Minotaur. The Minotaur is defined as being a monster, the offspring
of Pasiphaë and the Cretan bull, that had the head of a bull on the body
of a man: housed in the Cretan Labyrinth, it was fed on human flesh
until Theseus killed it. I thought what if (in this reality) the story
of the Minotaur had been passed down through the ages incorrectly or
misinterpreted...

What if it had the head of a bull and... (not:
the body of a man, but was actually) the bodies of men... (or given life
from the flesh of men.) Due to the sacrificial altar on its back, blood
and flesh would flow down into the ground and the essence of those
tortured people gave life to the minotaur. So this minotaur would be
made out of stone, ice and flesh.
