I don't know if it's true mythology as it was something I heard while watching a movie.... definitely a movie, the Minotaur disproves it. For one, the movie only actually said that a human-mytho baby would be human, it didn't actually specify ehich creatures it would work on. For another, Asterion may have been an exception because it was the outcome Poseidon wanted in order to punish Minos. the Minotaur was human-other in origin, which is what disproves that

human + other = always human

Poseidon was punishing Minos, I doubt he cared which way that was meted out any more than Cronus wanted no children or Hera wished Hercules did not exist... so to say that Poseidon simply willed the Minotaur to not be human but a Minotaur instead is to shoot down the theory as complete bullshit in an effort to prove it works... so it must be, as it sounds, a theory to explain mythological's in a more modern fictional universe.
