The+Minoans

In The island of Crete lived the Minoans with their king, King Minos. Minos started the Trojan War. Minos had a very strong army. Minos would always be attacking different Greek cities, including Athens. King Aegeus the king of Athens made a tribute with King Minos that if Minos didn’t attack Athens they would have to give Minos 7 men and 7 women every year to sacrifice to the deadly Minotaur. Theseus son of King Aegeus was determined to end this. Theseus went off to save the victims with some help from Ariadne, the daughter of Minos. They found the Minotaur and killed it, and then later Theseus was elected king of Athens. Half man half bull born to Queen Pasiphae after she has mated with a bull. The Minotaur was raised in the twisted labyrinth and every 7 years it would get a feast, until it was killed by Theseus! The Minoans lived in small towns, villages, and konossos. Konossos were built in the central court. They were built for rich people so they could live in luxury. The Minoans had good soil which gave them good grazing for there farm animals. Farmers could grow much more than they needed.
