Mistress of the Sea When King Minos
Ruled Remarkable Laws Under
Which People Lived.
Minos, king of Crete, exercised a
preponderating power on tho sen; ho
drove out the barbarous Carlans from
the Cyclndes, and exterminated piracy
which among tho Greeks hnd been
openly professed ; lie kept tho people
of tho coasts In nwe of him, and nt
the same time forced them to pny hlin
tribute.
Crete was advantageously situated
to become mistress of the sea, but at
length a confederacy arose which put
an end to her dominion. Minos wish
ed to render the Cretans mild nnd
gentle In their mnnners. To attain
this object he allowed free Indul
gence. I'lnto says, to licentious excess,
even of the most tlngitlous kind, hop
ing that the refinements of gal
lantry would mitigate the nntlve
ferocity of his subjects.
As Individuals the Cretans pos
sessed eminent skill In military af
fairs, while the laws which they
adopted prevented the state from un
dertaking any great enterprise abroad.
They elected ten cosines, or regulators,
to govern In pence and war, and when
the period or their olllco wns com
pleted they remained members of the
legislature. The Judges were all men
of advanced nge, and young men were
never allowed to propose a change In
the law. and all proposals were made
In the senate, and .secretly. Slaves
tilled the soil, and the citizens ate to
gether In public companies, while the
country wns divided Into twelve por
tions for agriculture and business.
