The minotaur was a man with the head of a bull. Poseidon gave a white bull to king Minos, who was supposed to sacrifice it to the god. Instead, Minos kept it, and so Poseidon caused Minos' wife Pasiphae to fall in love with the bull. Daedalus helped her build a wooden cow and she hid inside it in order to mate with the bull. The resulting child was the minotaur, or "Minos's bull".
