This Painting tells the story of how
Pasiphäe fell in love with the Cretan Bull after Poseidon cursed her and made her lust for the animal. It is believed that the curse placed on Pasiphae was not a punishment for her actions, but rather because of the actions of her husband, King Minos.
Poseidon had given King Minos a white bull for sacrificial purposes. So impressed by the stature of the bull, though, Minos decided not to sacrifice it, instead keeping it alive for himself. Poseidon – who is widely known for his vengeful fury – was furious with King Minos and made Pasiphae fall in love with the bull as punishment. Pasiphae and the bull later mated, and the Minotaur was born.
