minos justified his accession as king and prayed to poseidon for a sign. poseidon sent a giant white bull out of the sea. minos was committed to sacrificing the bull to poseidon, but then decided to substitute a different bull. in rage, poseidon cursed pasiphaë, minos' wife, with a mad passion for the bull. daedalus built her a wooden cow, which she hid inside. the bull mated with the wooden cow and pasiphaë was impregnated by the bull, giving birth to a horrible monster, again named asterius, the minotaur, half man half bull. daedalus then built a complicated "chamber that with its tangled windings perplexed the outward way" called the labyrinth, and minos put the minotaur in it. to make sure no one would ever know the secret of who the minotaur was and how to get out of the labyrinth (daedalus knew both of these things), minos imprisoned daedalus and his son, icarus, along with the monster. daedalus and icarus flew away on wings daedalus invented, but icarus' wings melted because he flew too close to the sun. icarus fell in the sea and drowned.

candlewick then appeared in walt disney's 1940 animated adaptation of "pinocchio". he is given the alternate translation of his name, lampwick, and is voiced by frankie darro as a human and clarence nash in his donkey form. his likeness is modeled after disney animator fred moore. like his literary version, he is tall and slender, and sports red hair and buckteeth. lampwick also made a cameo in "house of mouse", and also makes a cameo in "who framed roger rabbit" appearing on a poster advertising for "exploding cigars" in toontown, with his donkey ears from the original film. in the original film, lampwick befriends pinocchio during the journey to pleasure island and leads pinocchio astray by introducing him to such activities as fighting others, smoking, drinking beer and other bad deeds that good children wouldn't do. jiminy cricket finds pinocchio playing pool with lampwick and the latter bullies him calling jiminy a "grasshopper" and "beetle," laughing at him after jiminy threatens to fight him. shortly after this altercation, jiminy notices that the boys on pleasure island are literally turning into jackasses and being rounded up for slave labor. lampwick's transformation is swift: within a minute, he loses all humanity (including his red hair and buckteeth) and is last seen wrecking the pool hall in panic. strangely enough lampwick and to a lesser extent pinocchio are the last victims to become donkeys; this may simply be a matter of perspective, as lampwick was one of the worst-behaved boys on the island. in the live action lampwick has often starred in disneyland's electrical parade along with an unnamed boy from pleasure island. lampwick and the other boys have tails and donkey ears and wave to guests at disneyland.
