Damn! My secret's out!

Ok... now you're racking my brains!!! Been too long since high school history!

Poseidon sent a bull to King Minos to sacrifice to him. But he didn't, as so he was punished. The punishment was that his wide lusted after, and had it off with, the bull. The resultant offspring, of course, was the Minotaur.

There's a story, i think, that Daedalus (the guy who made wings for himself and stuff like that) had to design a contraption to enable the 'coupling' of the wife and bull. I'm not swearing to that story though, it' sounds, er, bull....

That's the best I can remember, but I could be completely wrong of course, it's happened many times before!!

PS, so KingMinotaur - are you trying to tell us something? Having sexy thoughts about some bulls eh? :)

Exvcellent casper.. daedalus sculpted the statue that the wife of King Minos coupled with ; shortly thereafter , he and his son Icarus were imprisoned while the Minotaur was banished to the maze . It was during daeadlus' imprisonment that he made the wings so that they could escape .

I just love when I'm not acknowledged.
