(a lot of numers here, but it helps in chronology)

     Crete is a large island in the Mediterranean Sea, southeast of Greece. The first Cretan kings we meet in mythology
     are Archedius, Gortys 2 and Cydon 1. These are all sons of Tegeates, who founded Tegea in Arcadia. Tegeates
     was a son of the impious Lycaon 2, who lived at the time of The Flood.
     The three brothers emigrated from Arcadia to Crete, and it is said that the city Gortyna was named after Gortys 2 and
     Cydonia after Cydon 1.

     After them, a son of Dorus 1, Tectamus, sailed to Crete with Aeolians and Pelasgians and became king of the
     island. During the time when he was king of Crete, Zeus carried off Europa from Phoenicia. Tectamus' son,
     Asterius 3, married Europa and became king, being succeeded in the throne by Europa's son by Zeus, Minos 1.

     After Minos 1, Lycastus 1, his son, became king; and after him his son, the more famous Minos 2, ruled the
     country. But some say Minos 2 was the son of Zeus and Europa. During his reign Crete had conflicts with Athens
     and Megara, which are reflected in the stories of the Minotaur and the abduction of Ariadne by Theseus, and the legend
     of Nisus 1.

     The architectural creations of Daedalus (the Labyrinth, the Wooden Cow, the Dancing-floor for
     Ariadne) are from this time. Minos 2 died in Sicily killed by King Cocalus or by the daughters of this Sicilian king.

     Minos 2 was succeeded by Idomeneus 1, who became leader of the Cretans during the Trojan War. At his return
     from Troy he was driven out of Crete by the usurper Leucus 1.
