Minoan Culture

Minoan art is very striking, as you can see by these examples. Find out what you can about it.

Use this as a launching pad to examine Minoan civilization in general. Look especially for connections with classical Greek civilization.

See how the paths of these men intertwine: John Chadwick, Sir Arthur Evans, Heinrich Schliemann, and what all three had to do with Crete.

And why does this picture have anything to do with Greek mythology and a double-headed axe?
