Tell me the legend of Minos.

In Greek mythology, Minos (English: Minos/Greek: μ ν Ω α) was the king of Crete and the son of Zeus and Europa (with his brothers Radamantis and Salpeidong). Crete civilization is also called Minoan civilization. The existence of Minos is still a myth left to the world. Some people think he is a powerful monarch, while others think Minos is not a monarch, but a title like Pharaoh. According to legend, when King Minos and his brother competed for the throne, he asked Poseidon to give him a pure white bull to prove that he got the throne by divine will. Minos should have dedicated this cow to Poseidon, but he broke his word and sacrificed another cow instead. In a rage, Poseidon made Princess Minos fall in love with the bull and gave birth to a monster with a cow's head, called "MINO Taulos" (meaning Minos' cow). In order to imprison the monster, King Minos ordered the construction of a maze, which crisscrossed, and outsiders would be swallowed up by the monster if they mistakenly entered it. Later, Minos ordered the Aegean king to pay tribute to seven pairs of virgins every nine years and send them to the maze for the minotaurs to eat. In order to save the boys and girls in Athens, Prince theseus of Athens decided to go to Crete to kill MINO Taulos, and made an agreement with his father to change the black flag on the ship to a white flag after success. Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos, fell in love with him and gave him a sword and a ball of thread. With the help of this thread and sword, theseus finally killed MINO Taulos and escaped from the maze with the virgin and Princess Ariadne. But immersed in the joy of success, theseus forgot to change the black flag, and his father jumped into the sea in grief and committed suicide. Theseus became king. At the beginning of the 20th century, British archaeologist Arthur Evans excavated the ruins of Knossos Palace in the northern part of Crete, which was large in scale and vaguely consistent with the legendary maze, representing the achievements of Crete civilization. During the new palace period, the last palace was a group of multi-storey buildings around the central courtyard, covering an area of 22,000 square meters. The total number of halls and rooms in the palace exceeds 65,438+0,500. The floors are closely connected, the stairs and corridors are tortuous and complicated, the halls are scattered, the patios are numerous, and the layout is asymmetric, which is difficult for outsiders to find. Therefore, it is called "maze" in ancient Greek myths and legends.
