Asked by Wiki User

Minos was competing with his brothers to rule Crete. Minos prayed to Poseidon to send a white bull as a sign of support for him to be king. Minos was to kill the bull as a sacrifice to Poseidon, but kept the bull because of its beauty. He thought Poseidon would not care, and Minos sacrificed his own bull. This angered Poseidon or Minos was disobedient and made Poseidon think he was not worthy. Poseidon cursed Minos' wife.

Why do you think the Minoans abandoned Knossos in about 1450 BCE?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Knossos (pronounced kuh-nuh-SOS) is believed to have been attacked by the Mycenaeans in the early 15th Century B.C., resulting in destruction of much of the city. Historians assume the Mycenaeans removed the leaders of Knossos from the palace in 1450 B.C. What remained of Knossos following its loss in war to the Mycenaean Greeks is believed to have been destroyed by fire 100 years later.

There is also legend that the city was destroyed by tsunami.
