Strauss, Leo, The Argument and the Action of Plato's Laws, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1975.
Excerpt:
In the traditional order of the Platonic dialogues the Laws is preceded by the Minos, the only Platonic dialogue in which Socrates raises the question What is law? It appears that not all laws are good or, at any rate equally good. The Cretan laws were given by Minos, who was not only a son of Zeus but the only hero educated by Zeus; no one was ever celebrated as highly by Homer and Hesiod as Minos.
