Summary
Dominique Pagani mentions Minos in passing, always as a secondary figure of the Cretan cycle, without extended commentary. He cites him mostly in connection with Daedalus: Minos is the king whose engineer Daedalus is, the master of this slave1, who has him build the labyrinth in which the Minotaur is shut away2. According to a 2023 passage, the labyrinth is commissioned to hide the Minotaur3. He also presents him as the deceived husband of Pasiphaë4 and as the father of Phaedra and Ariadne56. On two occasions he recalls that this king of Crete becomes a judge in the underworld7. These mentions recur between 2017 and 2024 in sessions on varied subjects: Freud, Schumann, the Greeks and music, Nerval and Baudelaire, desire, worldliness in Clouscard, the essence of evil. The passages do not specify the question being addressed each time. Minos serves as a genealogical and narrative reference point for placing Daedalus, the labyrinth, Phaedra or Ariadne.

Who is this?In Greek mythology, Minos was a king of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa.
