King Minos.
The Minoan civilization was named after King Minos, the mythical king of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa. After his death, Minos along with his brothers, Rhadamanthys and Sarpedon, became a judge of the dead in Hades.(See also Minotaur, the legend monster which was living in the Labyrinth at King Mino's palace.)
The term "Minoans" derives from King Minos, a legendary figure in ancient Greek mythology associated with the island of Crete. The name was popularized by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans in the early 20th century when he discovered the ruins of the advanced civilization on Crete. He named them Minoans to reflect their connection to the mythological tales surrounding King Minos, who was said to have ruled over a prosperous and sophisticated society.
