Description

From Greek Mythology: Poseidon agreed to send a white bull to King Minos of Crete with the condition Minos would sacrifice the bull to the god in return. King Minos, after seeing it, found it so beautiful that he instead sacrificed another bull, hoping that Poseidon would not notice. Poseidon was very angry when he realized what had been done, so he caused Minos' wife, Pasipha�, to be overcome with a fit of madness in which she fell in love with the bull. The result of this union was the Minotaur (the Bull of Minos), who some say bore the proper name Asterius (the Starry One). The Minotaur had the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull. Pasipha� nursed him in his infancy, but he grew and became ferocious. Minos, after getting advice from the Oracle at Delphi, had Daedalus construct a gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur. It was located under Minos' palace in Knossos. The Minotaur was kept in the labyrinth and was later killed by Theseus. This painting has been professionally framed to an approximate overall size of 26" x 33", and is in Excellent condition.
