Mythology
The meanings of words can be not only concrete, but also abstract, they can also refer to completely different areas of the language. In Greek myths, the Taurus is represented as the military leader of King Minos. On the island of Crete was a labyrinth, which can be considered a prison for captives. During the competition, the Taurus won victories with absolute constancy, received all the awards and pressed the "prisoners". Once he exceeded permissible norms and secretly began a relationship with his wife Minos, to which he was embittered. The king agreed to the battle of Theseus and the Taurus, in which he first defeated his rival, sealing him to the ground.
By general mythological definition, the Taurus is a creature similar to a centaur. It has anthropomorphic and zoomorphic characters. The most popular representations are body parts of foxes, horses, cows, deer, wolves, birds and arthropods. A creature that combines the characteristics of man and animal - this is what the Taurus is in mythology. The Slavs is one of the names Veles.
Most specific concepts
Other definitions of the word are known. So, for example, it means a metal beam, which in its shape resembles the letter T.
Another option is the ridge of the Taurus Mountains system, which are located in Turkey. The highest elevation point can be considered 3000 meters (or slightly more). The ridge is called Central. Thus, the following values can be distinguished:
- Taurus - a beast or mythological creature.

- Beam or metal construction.
