In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was slain by Heracles

The answer is False.

Explanation

The Minotaur was slain by Theseus. He received help from Ariadne, King Minos's daughter, who provided him with a sword and a ball of thread to navigate the Labyrinth (the thread was Daedalus's idea, Daedalus being the one who built the Labyrinth).
