Theseus had to go through a giant maze called a labyrinth. Fortunately, he had a ball of twine so that he knew how to get out of the labyrinth, since it was said that the labyrinth was impossible to get out of. So after he kiilled the minotaur, he escaped the labyrinth with the ball of twine.
It wasn't a Greek god that defeated the minotaur but it was however a hero named Theseus who defeated him in the Labyrinth.
Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of golden cord to navigate his way through the labyrinth. I also believe that she gave him a sword to kill the minotaur.
In Cretan mythology, Theseus slayed the minotaur. He did it with the help of a ball of string and Ariadne, who knew the minotaur in some ways too intimately. Not that way. The minotaur is a half bul half man . http://thenorthnode.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/theseus-and-the-minotaur/ Very nice looking blogsite, with a synopsis of the myth with a bit of discussion concerning wandering up that particular emotional labyrinthine alley surrounding it.
Theseus used a ball of thread/string to find his way out. This was given to him by the princess Ariadne.
In the labyrinth.
No, he did not.
Ariadne did.
Theseus defeats the Minotaur from the Labyrinth on the island of Crete.
Theseus kills a few creatures in Greek myth, but the most famous is the Minotaur.
The battle between Theseus and the Minotaur occured in the Labryinth. The Labyrinth was located in the city of Knossos on the island of Crete.

theseus is not a god Theseus is a hero and he the the man who killed the minotaur and found his way out of the labyrinth with daedalus's help
Actually Theseus killed the Minotaur with his bare hands. The princess of Crete gave him the magic thread to find his way out of the Labyrinth.
In King Minos' Labyrinth in the center of the island of Crete
Theseus took a ball of yarn/wool and tied it to a rock at the entrance of the Labyrinth. He then unravelled it behind him until he came to the Minotaur. He had a fight with the Minotaur, killed it then followed the yarn/wool back to the entrance of the cave.
