According to some accounts, Miletus was a boy loved by all three sons of Europa—Minos, Rhadamanthus and Sarpedon. The brothers fought over him and Minos won the battle. However, the boy loved Sarpedon the best. Sarpedon and the boy fled Crete for Lycia to escape Minos and the youth went on to found the city of Miletus in Caria. (Apollodorus, III 1-2)
