First sentence: At the summer solstice (683c4-5), a day of stifling heat (625b3), a Cretan by the name of Clinias, the Spartan Megillus, and an Athenian whose name is never disclosed are taking a walk to a cave where Minos conversed with Zeus more than once and, in conformity with the authoritative utterances (phemai) of his father, laid down laws for all of Crete.
