Minos myth

According to Greek mythology, Minos was the King of Crete and son of the god Zeus and Europa. The whole island of Crete belonged to the Minoan kingdom, and its capital was Knossos. The historian Thucydides refers that Minos might be the most ancient man known to build a navy. His reign over Crete and Aegean islands, Cyclades, was three generations before the Trojan War. Minos is also, mentioned in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey as the king of Knossos. The Minoan civilization was developed in Crete from 3000 B.C. to 1100 B.C.

Because of its location, as Crete was in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, it became a naval and commercial power. Minoans used to sell olive oil, honey, wine, jewellery to Egypt, Troy, and Cyprus. Most of the men were sailors and traders.

Nowadays, the Palace of Knossos is located a few kilometres away from Heraklion city, in Crete. Visitors have the opportunity to see the monument, the paintings on the walls and learn more about Minos and the Minoan kingdom.
