We give a complete investigation of Morley's trisector theorem. If the intersections of the half lines starting from the adjacent vertices of a triangle form an equilateral triangle for an arbitrary triangle, then the half lines are the angle trisectors. To derive the result we use elementary trigonometry, Taylor series expansions, and solve systems of polynomial equations step by step. As a byproduct we get a probably new trigonometric identity.
