typically it is accepted that Minoans lived in vast palaces, in Greek mythology the Minoans named for king Minos even had the great labyrinth built in his palace to imprison the great beast the minotaur. so i think it is safe to say that Minoan palaces were lavish and grand.

The labyrinth is most famously associated with the Minoans, particularly through the myth of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth on Crete, attributed to King Minos. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Minoans had complex palace structures, particularly at Knossos, which some believe inspired the legend of the labyrinth. The Mycenaeans, who followed the Minoans, did not directly use the labyrinth concept in the same mythological context, although they did adopt and adapt Minoan culture and architecture.
The term "Minoan" derives from King Minos, a legendary figure in ancient Greek mythology who was said to rule Crete and was associated with the labyrinth and the Minotaur. The name was popularized by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans in the early 20th century when he uncovered the ruins of the Palace of Knossos on Crete. He used the term to describe the advanced Bronze Age civilization that flourished on the island from approximately 2600 to 1100 BCE, known for its art, architecture, and trade.

The boy is Icarus, in the myth of Daedalus, who is Icarus' father. So yes, it is a Greek Myth as the Greeks held that Daedalus was originally Athenian (though it is now widely believed he was Minoan/Cretan).
"Minoan" is the adjective form of "Minos"; "Minos" was the name of an ancient, probably mythical king of Crete. (Alternatively, "Minos" may have been the Cretan word for "king".) In Greek legend and mythology, Minos had an elaborate maze named the "Labyrinth", in which he kept a monster named for himself, the "Minotaur".Minos' city was Knossos, on the north central coast of Crete, near 35 20N 020 08E."Minoan" could be applied descriptively to clothing, architecture or pottery made near or in the style of ancient Crete.

She is a new form of an ancient mother goddess that existed in Minoan and Mycenaean mythology.
King Minos is often considered a legendary figure associated with the Minoan civilization, but historical evidence does not confirm him as a historical king. Instead, he is a character from Greek mythology, depicted as a ruler of Crete and a judge of the dead. The Minoan civilization, known for its advanced culture and architecture, existed prior to the emergence of Greek mythology, so while Minos symbolizes Minoan leadership, he may not represent a specific historical figure.
