Hecale vowed to make a sacrifice to Zeus if one of these animals could be captured. In one of Aesop's fables, a lion tries to trick one of these animals to his death by offering a sheep to it. King Aegeus assigned his son Theseus to hunt down one of these creatures that ravaged the plains of Marathon. To prove he was divine, Minos asked Poseidon to send one of these animals from the sea. That same creature of this sort was later captured by Heracles, which Eurystheus wanted to sacrifice to Hera. In Minoan art, a common motif was to depict people leaping over these animals. For 10 points, name this animal, which is combined with a human to make the minotaur.
