In the third year of the ritual, Theseus, son of Aegeus, King of Athens,
disguised himself as one of the seven men and entered the labyrinth
in order to kill the Minotaur and end the human sacrifices.

What is the meaning of Theseus slaying the Minotaur sculpture?

Here, a heroic Theseus, whose stylized body is based on archaic Greek precedents, prepares to kill
the monstrous Minotaur – half-man, half-bull. The control conveyed through Theseus's posture and
dispassionate expression contrasts with the writhing violence of the Minotaur's desperate attempts
to escape.
