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.
