=== Mythology and Religion ===
* A very indirect example: when King Minos of Crete refused to sacrifice a white bull for Poseidon, Poseidon punishes him by making Minos' wife Pasiphae fall in love with the bull. She had a wooden cow made and climbed inside so [[But You Screw One Goat!|the bull would have sex with her]]. (Ironically, that means ''the bull'' is more sensible than the humans here.) She then later gave birth to a [[Half-Human Hybrid|half human/half bull creature]] that became the Minotaur, while the bull went insane, rampaging through Crete until Hercules came to capture it for his Seventh Labor.
* [[Celtic Mythology]]: Cuchulain was conceived this way allegedly. His mother Deichtine assisted Lugh's wife in labor. For her reward, Lugh impregnated ''her''.
* According to the Tupi people of the Amazon area of present day Brazil, the sun was outraged when early human society was dominated by women. It caused sap from the curura (or puruman) tree to spray on the breast of a virgin named Ceucy, impregnating her with Jurapari (or Jurupari). He declared war on women and tore down the matriarchy. After his victory, Jurapari set up feasts in which the secrets of men?s rule were passed down through the generations. Any women attending were put to death, Ceucy being their first victim. In some versions of the legend, one day Jurupari will find a woman worthy of him and from that day forward, the sexes will be equal.
