The Dorians

The Dorians also occupied a number of islands in the Aegean - Melos, Thera, Rhodes, Kos; they founded Knidos and Halikarnassos. They also took over Knosós and other coastal cities of Crete. They ruled in these lands as aristocrats over the local peasantry, whom they called Mnotes, which seems to be derived from the name of Minos. In the eastern part of the island native Cretans (Eteopcretans, or "true Cretans") preserved some measure of independence, keeping their religion and traditions. At Praisos the legend that Minos died in the expedition against Sicily was preserved and the classical Greek alphabet was used for inscriptions in a non-Greek language.
