Birthplace of Zeus, in myth (5)

I believe the answer is:

crete

(Other definitions for crete that I've seen before include "Large Mediterranean island" , "Knossos island" , "Greek territory" , "Island Germans took, 1941" , "Mediterranean island with Minoan remains" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
