Welcome the WOW Guild: Children of Pasiphae
In Greek mythology, Pasiphaë, "wide-shining" was the daughter of Helios, the Sun, and the eldest of the Oceanids, Perse. Like her doublet Europa, her origins were in the East, in her case at Colchis, the palace of the Sun; she was given in marriage to King Minos of Crete. With Minos, she was the mother of "starlike" Asterion, called by the Greeks the Minotaur, after a curse from Poseidon caused her to mate with a white bull that was sacred to Poseidon.
Pasiphae, like her niece Medea, was a mistress of magical herbal arts in the Greek imagination.
In mainland Greece, Pasiphaë was worshipped as an oracular goddess at Thalamae, one of the original koine of Sparta.
