I believe Minos had several daughters, but two of the more famous ones are Phaedra and Ariadne.
Ariadne helped Theseus defeat the minotaur (her half brother) and also helped him escape from the labyrinth by giving him a magical ball of thread that traced his path to freedom. However, Theseus abandoned her while she was sleeping despite all she had done. Dionysus - god of wine and revelry - found Ariadne (while she was still sleeping) and made her his wife. What happened to Ariadne after this is debated (she may have been shot by Artemis, turned to stone by Perseus, or become immortal).
Phaedra ended up marrying Theseus (despite his treatment of her sister) and had two children with him. However, she became bored with Theseus and tried to tempt Hippolytus (Theseus' son by Antiope) into having an affair with her. Hippolytus refused her, and Phaedra - bent on revenge - convinced Theseus he had raped her. Theseus, enraged, ordered Hippolytus' death. Phaedra, regretting her actions and beset by guilt and grief, killed herself.
