Translation: They say that Pasiphae was in love with a bull and begged Daedalus to make a wooden cow and rig it up and put her in it; and mounting her like a cow the bull made her pregnant. Out of her the Minotaur was born. Minos for certain reasons became angry with the Athenians and used to collect a tribute of seven virgins and an equal number of young men from them;[1] they were thrown to the beast. So since the origin and blame for these evils were attributed to Daedalus and he was loathed for them, he became the subject of the proverb.
