How was the famous Minotaur born?
Before he became king of Crete, Minos struggled with his brothers for power. He prayed to Poseidon to send a snow white bull as a sign of the god's approval. Poseidon did this, but demanded that the bull be sacrificed after Minos became king. Minos, however, was a greedy man, and the bull so beautiful and perfect that he kept it for himself.
As punishment, Aphrodite made Minos' wife, Pasiphae, fall madly in love with the bull, to the point that she had Daedelus make a hollow cow form for her so that she could be inside and copulate with the bull. The horrific result of his union was the minotaur, which she named Asterion. The minotaur was nursed by pasiphae until he grew too monstrous, at which point he began to feast on human flesh, since nothing else would sate his monstrous appetite.
