| abstract | - Minos was housed in the great palace of Knossos. According to Greek Mythology, he received laws from Zeus, himself and used to remain with Zeus, with/for nine years. King Minos, was recognized as a ruler of peace, until his son, Androgeos, got killed by a bull. King Minos avenged his son, by conquering Athens. On the demand of King Minos, Zeus struck Athens the torment of plague, hunger and thirst. A certain Oracle, proclaimed to the Athenians to meet the demands of King Minos to escape their deadly fate. King Minos, asked for six boys or sevel girls to Crete every nine years as a sacrifice to the Minotaur. King Minos failed to sacrifice a certain bull for the God of Seas, who as a punishment, made Minos's wife fall in love with the bull, whom with she gave birth the Minotaur. King Minos, had a certain liking for the beast and held it in supreme praise. Minos was later killed in Silcily, by the daughters of Daedalus, the architect of Minotaur's Labyrinth. After his death, he is believed to have become the judge of the Underworld.
- In Greek mythology, Minos (Greek: Μίνως) was a mythical king of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa. He ordered Daedalus to construct the Labyrinth to house the Minotaur. After his death, Minos became a judge of the dead in Hades. The Minoan civilization of pre-Hellene Crete has been named after him. By his wife, Pasiphaë, he fathered Ariadne, Androgeus, Deucalion, Phaedra, Glaucus, Catreus, Acacallis, and many others. Minos, along with his brothers, Rhadamanthys and Sarpedon, was raised by king Asterion (or Asterius) of Crete. When Asterion died, his throne was claimed by Minos who banished Sarpedon and (according to some sources) Rhadamanthys too. It is not clear if Minos was a name or a title, the Cretan word for "king", or indeed, to take a euhemerist position, the name of a particular king that was subsequently used as a title. Scholars have noted the interesting similarity between Minos and the names of other ancient founder-kings, such as Menes of Egypt, Mannus of Germany, Manu of India, and so on. There is a name in Minoan Linear A mi-nu-te that may be related to Minos. According to La Marle's reading of Linear A, we should read mwi-nu ro-ja (Minos the king) on a Linear A tablet. The royal title ro-ja is read on several documents, including on stone libation tables from the sanctuaries, where it follows the name of the main god, Asirai (the equivalent of Sanskrit Asura, and of Avestan Ahura). La Marle suggests that the name mwi-nu (Minos) is expected to mean 'ascetic' as Sanskrit muni, and fits this explanation to the legend about Minos sometimes living in caves on Crete. If royal succession in Minoan Crete descended matrilinearly— from the queen to her firstborn daughter— the queen's husband would have become the Minos, or war chief
