King Minos is of the Dorians and he reigned on Crete. <br /><br />Crete underwent three migrations/invasions. The first occured around 2800 BC with the invasion of a Semitic people from Eygpt which we call now Minoans. These people are NOT Greek but Semitic. The Next invasion was about 1800 BC; it was Mycenean Greeks that conquered the island. Then, in 1200 BC was the invasion of the Sea Peoples which attacked the whole of the Eastern Mediterrenean from Cyprus, Palestine, Egypt, Crete, Rhodes and other islands. These were the Dorians. This is why I preface Crete with the adjective "Dorian". <br /><br />It is very interesting that Plotinus mentions King Minos; it means he was very aware of the heritage of Socrates and Plato. The philosophical tradition of Socrates and Plato come from Crete and Sparta, lands of the Doric Greeks. It is these people that founded and created Greek Philosophy.WLindsayWheelernoreply@blogger.com
