In this video:
Zeus' son, and the king of Crete Minos was too proud of the fact that he had the favor of the sea god poseidon. So one time his brothers challenged him to prove it.
Minos agreed, and prayed to poseidon for a magical bull. Which he promised to sacrifice to the god himself. Having heard his prayers. Poseidon granted him a divine bull, and minos emerged victorious against his brothers. But then, instead of sacrificing the bull as per the promise. Minos kept it for himself.
This angered poseidon, and so he asked the greek goddess of lust Aphrodite to distract Minos' wife pasiphae with an insatiable lust for the same bull. Aphrodite's curse worked, and pasiphae couldn't control her crave for the bull.
So she asked elite craftsmen daedulus and icarus to build a wooden cow with a compartment for her to hide in. Once made, she hid inside it, and the wooden was brought to the bull, and well, you can fill in the blanks.
This unique union led to the birth of minotaur, the powerful monster with the body of a human, and the head, and tail of a bull.
