  On the island of Crete, where the azure waters of the Mediterranean meet shores of golden sand, there once ruled a king whose name would become synonymous with both justice and terrible curse. Minos was his name, and his story intertwines divine favor with human pride, showing how even the greatest rulers can fall when they forget that their power comes from the gods.

  Minos was no ordinary mortal. He was the son of Zeus, king of the gods, and Europa, the beautiful princess whom Zeus had courted while transformed into a magnificent white bull. This divine parentage marked Minos from birth as someone destined for greatness, but it also carried the burden of living up to divine expectations.
