Who cursed pasiphae and why?

Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos of Crete, was cursed by the god Poseidon. As punishment for Minos not sacrificing a beautiful bull to him, Poseidon caused Pasiphae to fall in love with the bull. This unnatural desire led to the birth of the Minotaur, a creature that would have significant repercussions for Crete and its mythology.
