Minotaur Songs

My kids are old enough now that I can let them watch some of the movies I enjoyed when I was a kid. The one we Netflixed tonight was the 1981 Terry Gilliam film Time Bandits, which featured an amazing cast that included John Cleese, Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall, Ian Holm and Michael Palin. The kids loved it. One of the scenes in the film was a battle between Agamemnon (played by Sean Connery) and the Minotaur. The scene inspired me to come up with a playlist. The Minotaur is a creature from Greek mythology that had the body of a man and the head of a bull -- it was eventually slain by Theseus, the founder of Athens. This playlist includes 10 tracks titled after this mythological beast. What would you add?
