Information on the cameo
The Minotaur, or known in Ancient Greek as Μῑνώταυρος, was a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet, Ovid, "part man and part bull". The creature would reside at the center of a labyrinth, which was a complex, twisting maze. During his time there, he would be offered a sacrifice, mostly youths and maids, to satisfy his cannibalistic hunger. However, when they were about to sacrifice a third person to the Minotaur, Athenian hero, Theseus, volunteered to slay the beast. While Theseus was in the labyrinth, Ariadne, a woman who fell in love with him, helped him through the maze by giving him thread so he could retrace his steps. Theseus killed the Minotaur with the sword of Aegeus.
Appearance in the rap battle
The Minotaur appears during Zeus' first verse, during the line, "I'm a bull getting bitches with my swan schlong!"
