The Minotaur was the child of Pasiphae, queen of Crete, wife of Minos.
She was punished by Poseidon to have a strong desire for a white bull. In some versions, she mistook her husband for a beast, and saw the bull as the king, so she had his child, a monster with a human body and a bull's head. Minos and Pasiphae, ashamed to reveal him to the world, had Dedalus build a castle just for him, the labyrinth. Because the monster feasted on human flesh, Minos would demand from subject lands each year a tribute of seven young men and seven women, that he would then lock inside the labyrinth for the Minotaur to hunt down.
