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
of
the
Sun
,
the
wife
of
Minos
,
had
not
made
sacred
things
for
goddess
Venus
for
a
few
years
.
On
account
of
this
,
Venus
threw
an
unspeakable
love
into
her
so
that
she
would
love
a
bull
.
Into
this
matter
when
Daedalus
came
as
an
exile
,
she
asked
for
help
from
him
.
He
made
a
wooden
cow
for
her
and
he
lead
in
the
skin
of
a
real
cow
,
in
which
she
laid
with
a
bull
;
out
of
this
union
she
gave
birth
to
the
Minotaur
that
was
part
bull
and
part
human
.
Then
,
Daedalus
made
the
Minotaur
be
exiled
to
the
labyrinth
,
in
which
he
was
confined
.
