Bull of Poseidon

In greek mythology Poseidon gave the king of
Minos a bull. He demanded the sacrifice of the bull.
The bull was very beautiful. Therefore the king
decided to sacrifice another bull instead.
Poseidon was very angry about that. He swore
to seek vengeance for this dishonour. He avenged
himself by useing the wife of the king. Poseidon
influenced her that she felt in love with the bull.
She was attracted by the bull and wanted
sex with him. Daidalos, a great engenier,
helpt her, by constructing a cow out of wood.
The wife of the king was able to creep into the
cow and had sexual intercourse with the bull. As a
result of this a few month later Minotaur was born.
