 Geoffrey of Monmouth
Androgeus, suspecting the king's intentions made answer, that he had a court of his own, and that whatever should be alleged against his own men, ought to be determined there.

 Ariadne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Growing up in the Royal Palace of Krete among her father’s myriad children-she often thought that the whispers that her father was truly the son of Zeus Thunderer by Europa were based simply on his astounding numbers of progeny), Ariadne learned the art of statecraft at her father’s knee.
All of the children royal-Ariadne and her brothers Androgeus, Deucalion, Glaucus, Catreus, and her sisters Acalle, and Phaedra-were made to spend time observing as Minos meted out justice and managed the vast thalassocracy that was Krete.
Androgeus was dead in war with Athens, Deucalion crippled and learning the role of counselor, Glaucus was intending to join the priesthood (he’d been odd since his miraculous recovery from being smothered in honey), and Catreus was set to inherit Krete when King Minos (heaven forefend!) should die.

 Aegeus 1, Greek Mythology Link.
On his return, Aegeus 1 is said to have established in Athens the cult of Aphrodite Urania, thinking that he was childless because of the wrath of Heavenly Aphrodite.

In any case, Androgeus' death is said to have been the cause of the war between between Minos 2 and the Athenians, although it is also affirmed that Androgeus was killed, not before but during that war.

 Theseus and the Minotaur
Knowing that Androgeus was very friendly with the Pallantids, Aegeus feared that Androgeus would persuade his father to support Pallas in a war against Athens.
Aegeus had Androgeus waylaid on the road to Thebes, intending to have him held captive long enough to be persuaded to support Aegeus, or at least not to interfere on the side of Pallas if the two brothers should end up at war with each other.
But Androgeus was a brave man. Though vastly outnumbered, he fought so fiercely that he was accidentally killed in his struggle with his would-be captors.
