She had a deep knowledge of magical herbs and concoctions. She married Minos, the first King of Crete, whose mother was Europa and father Zeus who served as inspiration for the bedroom on the ground floor. Androgeos was a son of Minos and Pasiphae, who was a champion athlete in all athletic events, and after him the master bedroom on the lower level was named. His sisters were Ariadne and Phaedra and each one inspired the two bedrooms on the lower level. Theseus was a hero in Greek mythology and the guest apartment was named after him.
