| | Minotaur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Frazer both explain Pasiphae's union with the bull as a sacred ceremony, at which the queen of Knossos was wedded to a bull-formed god, just as the wife of the Tyrant in Athens was wedded to Dionysus. | | | This ceremony was performed by a priest disguised with a bull head or mask, thus explaining the imagery of the Minotaur. | | | Once continental Greece was free from Crete's dominance, the myth of the Minotaur worked to distance the forming religion conciousness from the island's beliefs. |

| | Minotaur, Greek Mythology Link. |
| | When many young men and women had already been destroyed by the Minotaur in the Labyrinth, Theseus, who was to become king of Athens, was numbered among those who were sent as the third tribute to the Minotaur. | | | In this Labyrinth, the Minotaur was maintained, and here it devoured the youths who were sent to it from Athens. | | | The Athenians, who had been at war with Crete, were forced by Minos 2 to send every year seven youths and seven damsels to be fodder of the Minotaur (but it is also told that Minos 2 did not destroy the young persons whom the Athenians sent him for tribute, but kept them as servants). |
