The minotaur was half-man and half-bull. It was the offspring of Pasipha, the wife of King Minos of Crete, and a bull[1]. Poseidon had given a bull to Minos to sacrifice to the god, but it was so beautiful, the the king could not sacrifice it and kept it instead. As punishment, Poseidon made the queen, Pasipha, fall in love with the bull and their offspring was the minotaur.
