Minos, the king of Crete, prayed to Poseidon for a white bull that he could sacrifice in Poseidon's honour. When he received the bull, it was so magnificent he sacrificed a different bull. As punishment Aphrodite made Minos's wife, Pasiphaë, fall in love with the bull. She got the craftsman Daedalus to construct a hollow wooden cow, she climbed into the cow and mated with the white bull. She became pregnant and gave birth to the Minotaur, a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull. The only food the Minotaur would eat was men, so, on the advice of the Delphic oracle, Minos had Daedalus construct a giant labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur.
