Talk:Minos

message: If I understand correctly, La Marle's conclusions about Linear A or the Minoans are not mainstream, to put it nicely, and therefore are really not to be considered as fact.  Is there a way, therefore, to de-emphasize material from him in this article?  Washi (talk) 15:15, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

message: just thinking that it might be good to add a section about Mino's role in Dante's Inferno as a judge of the domned.
:Just throwing this out there, but I believe the actual gameplay strategy on how to defeat Minos should be taken out. This isn't a strategy for the game; the first paragraph should suffice. NintendoTim (talk) 03:31, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The "Menes", "Mannus", "Manu" etc. connections are most probably taken from a completely unsubstantiated movie called "Zeitgeist", which includes "truths" such as that 9/11 was "definitely" an inside job etc. --fs 12:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Beware 

message: there should not be a divide between minos as a literary figure and minos as a mythological figure. mythology IS literature. the two are inherently linked.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.38.48 (talk) 23:37, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mythology/literature 

message: Referring to Michelangelo's The Last Judgement, it is probably incorrect to say: With his tail coiled around him, Minos judges the damned… It seems more likely that the tip of the tail seen over Minos' right shoulder belongs to a serpent that is coiled around him, and which has hold of his penis in its mouth. --DStanB (talk) 14:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  In art 

message: There are a few issues with this article that need to be clarified.
1. "Every nine years, he made King Aegeus pick seven young boys and seven young girls to be sent to Daedalus's creation".
The article is inconsistent with the article on Androgeos that says "The king obliged the Athenians to send several youths every seven or nine years to be devoured by the Minotaur".
2. "By Androgeneia of Phaestus he had Asterion, who commanded the Cretan contingent in the war between Dionysus and the Indians."
Did Minos have a son called Asterion like his adoptive father and the Minotaur (known originally as Asterion)?
3. "Minos gained the love of Scylla and her aid in cutting off her father's hair so that he could conquer the city. After his triumph ...".
This is inconsistent with the article on Androgeos that says "Minos led a war against Athens to avenge the death of his son, but failed to sack the city".
4. If "good" Minos's son is Lycastus and Lycastu's son is "bad" Minos then how can Minos be son of Zeus? This is totally inconsistent.
5. "She was changed into a shearer bird, relentlessly pursued by her father, who was a falcon."
Who changed her?
