Did Poseidon make the minotaur?

King Minos wanted to prove that he deserved to be king so he asked Poseidon to send a bull for him to sacrifice. However, Minos did not want to sacrifice the bull because of its beauty. As punishment, Poseidon had Aphrodite, goddess of love, make Minos' wife fall in love with the bull. The result was the half-man half-bull creature, the Minotaur.


Who are the parents of the minotaurs?

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.
