The Minoan capital city, on the island of Crete, was Knossos, where archaeologists have uncovered a royal palace with 1500 rooms. According to Greek myth, it was the home of the fabled Labyrinth, where the Minotaur, Astaris, ate Greek prisoners set to wander the confusing passages.

King Minos is often considered a legendary figure associated with the Minoan civilization, but historical evidence does not confirm him as a historical king.
