If you think that monster porn is something that emerged from Japanese hentai films and games, think again. Before there was La Blue Girl, and way before 3DX artists like Hibbli3D and Jared999D hit the scene, there was an eye-popping story of jealousy, revenge, and monstrous lust: the story of King Minos and his wife and queen, Pasiphaë.

Alessa and the Minotaur by 3DZen
Never heard of it? It’s not one you’re likely to have been taught in grade school, but you may have glossed over it in college while reading Dante’s Inferno. In the Seventh Circle of Hell — reserved for those who were violent against their neighbors — we find Alexander the Great, Attila the Hun, Centaurs, and the famed Minotaur, who devoured young men and virgins in the Labyrinth of Knossos as tribute from the neighboring Greek states. But the brief allusion in Dante’s Renaissance-era writings could be overlooked, until you sink your teeth into the original story that preceded Dante by some two thousand years.
Question: how exactly do you think a half-man and half-bull creature comes to exist? The answer is found in the aforementioned couple, King Minos and Queen Pasiphaë, who ruled on the Mediterranean island of Crete (now part of Greece) sometime before the rise of Alexander the Great in the fourth century B.C. We already have art images of King Minos from 400 B.C., and references of Minos’ contemporaries in the Iliad dating to 800 B.C.

The story of Pasiphaë
Whether the tale of Minos was based on a real king or not is for historians to debate. We are simply here to enjoy one of the most epic sexual exploits in the history of storytelling. If we believe the legend, we find that King Minos’ wife was jealous of his penchant for fucking various women, nymphs, and goddesses. The palace of Minos became a complicated nest of sexual jealousy, mythological interventions, and revenge curses. With the conniving of the Olympian gods, the Queen created a curse so diabolical that one wonders how her mind even managed to think it up. She cast a spell so spiteful and vindictive that whenever her husband put his cock in another woman and ejaculated, his penis would splash out a string of scorpions and snakes, stinging and biting the mistress in an agonizing death.
One can imagine even seasoned gods like Zeus looking down from the sky and saying to her “Bitch, what the fuck is wrong with you?”
The Queen was not immune to being cursed herself, however: the Olympian gods condemned her with a burning lust for copulation with an intensely virile animal: the Cretan Bull.
Pasiphae and the Bull, c.1876 – 1880 – Gustave Moreau
With the near-infinite resources of royalty, and the determination of a woman possessed, she summoned the famed Daedalus, the very master designer who would create the Labyrinth. After lengthy preparations, Daedalus, (perhaps the world’s first custom sex toy designer) presented the Queen with her special order: a hollow, wooden sculpture of a cow, covered in actual cow hide, complete with a hole in the back to accommodate a bull’s penis. There was another secret feature: a door in the sculpture allowed the Queen to climb inside, facing away from the bull so she could press her ass and pussy against the hole in the back. This pose allowed her to fulfill her desire to feel a bull’s penis stretching her sex tunnel open, and allowed the bull to thrust into the flesh of a human queen with all his carnal force. One can only hope that Daedalus remembered to install some handles inside the device so Pasiphaë could brace herself during the deepest stages of penetration.

And that elaborate sex episode, of a wife who dreamed up a practical concept of using an entire bull as a sex toy, is what caused a scandal so epic that the story made its way into Dante’s description of the Seventh Circle of Hell.
Through that union the beast called the Minotaur was conceived. By etymology, the name Minotaur describes it all: the Taurus (bull) of Minos. Dante describes meeting the Minotaur in the Seventh Circle of Hell: “Such was the passage down the steep, and there at the very top, at the edge of the broken cleft, lay spread the Infamy of Crete, the heir of bestiality and the lecherous queen who hid in a wooden cow. “ Even Dante cloaks his description in poetic terms, stopping far short of calling the Minotaur’s mother a horny little bull-fucker.
The main moral of the story seems to be: “Don’t let Daedalus make life-sized camouflaged sex contraptions for your wife.”
A very modern minotaur
Despite numerous depictions of the Minotaur in media, 3DX included, visuals of Pasiphaë’s act of unbridled debauchery are harder to come by in general: a few ancient drawings, a sculpture of the hollow cow in Spain, Renaissance works by Giulio Romano, and more modern works of Albert Decaris. Before the advent of video streaming, the legend was echoed in a horse-and-woman scene of the seventies cult film The Coming of Sin by Spanish director Jose Ramon Larraz. Actress Sarah Parish also recently portrayed Pasiphaë in the BBC TV production of Atlantis, though the script lacked any scenes of her bending over to get her cunt flooded with warm bull semen.

In the lofty interest of cultural preservation, perhaps the infamous Minoan Queen’s act of unparalleled boldness (and engineering) could become an upcoming feature by a member of the 3DX artist community? We’ve already seen a lineup of features paying homage to the flesh-eating Minotaur, such as Tales of the Hallow: The Lair of the Minotaur and Escape from the Lair of the Minotaur by Redrobot3D. (Though it must be said that pointy-eared elves and Minotaurs were not from the same source of mythology, but then again, there is no Misdemeanor Myth Court to charge Redrobot for mixing myths.) Other depictions include Supro’s Krissy and the Minotaur, and Insane3D’s Labyrinth of Lust.
If that doesn’t satisfy you in the labyrinth of mythological monster porn, perhaps you can get off to the passages of Dante while you’re waiting for more. For the sake of knowing where readers’ interests lie, let’s have a vote:
