THE WINGED BULL:The winged bull had a crowned man's head and the body of a bull with wings. The Cretan minotaur is another form of the man-bull. Supposedly, this creature was born from the union of Parsiphae and the Minoan sacred bull. The minotaur signifies the animal passions of humans that can rage out of control if not balanced by spiritual understanding.
