Document Summary
Art minoans create strengthens the theory that it was ruled by women. Women depicted in art in minoan and crete. Makes us thing maybe a matriarch - pacifists as well. Make ridiculous assumption that women are at peace and pacifist that idea is ridiculous because minoans had fortified architecture and war was very important to them so that idea is wrong. A lot of art too at this time focuses on masculinity, strength, courage, manliness anarea. Picture of bull leaping a favorite subject for minoans to paint. 2nd freeze is of bull leaping gone wrong because a man is on the bulls horns. Minoans love violence and when it goes wrong. In the 1st freeze there is boxing, bottom flexing pose of men but also men on the floor upside down like they"re knocked over - wearing helmets - combat scenes so not just girly art.
