Cretan Bull (Greek)
The Cretan Bull was a legendary beast of Greek mythology. As the name suggests, the Cretan Bull was originally from Crete, although it would later travel throughout Ancient Greece, and it was a also a beast encountered by both Heracles and Theseus. he Cretan Bull is first found on the island of Crete, although there is no mythological birth story connected with the animal; instead, the Cretan Bull was first observed when it emerged from the Mediterranean Sea onto the Greek island.
The Cretan prince Minos had prayed to Poseidon to provide a sign that he was the rightful successor to King Asterion, and Poseidon answered Minos’ prayers, by sending forth a magnificent white bull from out of his realm. The Cretans saw the bull and perceived it to be a sign that Minos was in favour with the gods, and so Minos did become King of Crete.
