Pasiphae , Solis filia , uxor Minois , sacra deae Veneris per aliquot annos non fecerat . Ob id , Venus amorem infandum illi obiecit , ut taurum amaret . In hoc Daedalus exsul cum venisset , petiit ab eo auxilium . Is ei vaccam ligneam fecit et verae vaccae corium induxit , in qua illa cum tauro concubuit ; ex quo compressu Minotaurum peperit capite bubulo parte inferiore humana . Tunc Daedalus Minotauro labyrinthum inextricabili exitu fecit , in quo est conclusus .
Pasiphae
the
daughter

the
sun
the
wife

not
made
sacrifices
of
the
goddess
Venus

many
years
.
On
account
of
this
Venus
threw
unspeakable
love
to
her
,
so
that
she
would
love
the
bull
.
When
Daedalus
had
came
into
this
matter
as
an
exile
,
she
asked
him
for
help
.
So
he
made
a
wooden
cow
for
her
and
he
lead
in
the
true
leather
of
a
real
cow
in
which
she
and
the
bull
spent
time
and
then
the
minotaur
was
born
with
the
head
of
a
calf
and
the
body
of
human
.
Then
Daedalus
made
the
Minotaur
a
labyrinth
that
was
to
keep
him
closed
and
was
inextricable
.
