I've started referencing, adding in a reference for the section in Apollodorus - because I'm studying the text at the moment. After my uni exams I may come back and see if I can track down the rest of the information in the ancient sources. Hiccup42 (talk) 09:05, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The whole section titled origin is badly written unsupported and of dubious veracity. I propose to delete the whole section if no one objects. --5telios (talk) 12:22, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article says that "in some versions of the story, Poseidon made the bull angry". What are the sources for these alternate stories? ICE77 (talk) 00:20, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is how the source gives the story: "some say... Poseidon made the bull angry." The other sources are lost a long time ago... (Apollodorus wrote this in 2nd cent. AD). Lophostrix (talk) 25 September 2014 (UTC)
