Minos was the son of Zeus and Europa {see planets  (5731) and  (52)}. As king of Crete, he distinguished himself by the wisdom of his laws, which remained in force for nearly 1000 years, and by his sense of justice and moderation approved by all the Greeks and gods. These earned Minos, after his death, promotion to the dignity of judge of the Underworld. (M 25445) _ _.
