i need websites, i have to find more info on this myth, it's this one:
Poseidon similarly cursed the wife of King Minos. Minos had proved his divine right to rule Crete by calling on Poseidon to send a bull from the sea, which the king promised to sacrifice. Poseidon sent the bull, but Minos liked it too much to sacrifice it. So Poseidon asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to make Minos's queen, Pasiphae, fall in love with the bull. The result was the monstrous Minotaur, half-man, half-bull.

but that's all the info i could find. could you give me sites about this. thank you so much!
Blessed Be

There are many stories involving Poseidon. It sounds like you are looking for one. Research Minos or Minotaur.

No web site, but sort of a nutshell.
Minos had Daedalus build a labyrinth at center of which the Minotaur was was held. 14 young women and men were sacrificed to the Minotaur each year.
The Minotaur was finally killed by Theseus who traversed the labyrinth using a ball of string to get in and out.

Poseidon (Poseidwn) Greek god of the sea and earthquakes.
Symbols - trident, horse, bull

Poseidon is often compared or combined with the Roman god of the sea, Neptune. In addition to creating horses, he is also credited with the creation of the Zebra, believed to be one of his early experiments in equine engineering.
