Document Summary

Palace at knossos can relate to the story of the maze and the minotaur. The minoans were great builders, they had a great navy military force. Myths are based in some way on historical truths* Minoans were deeply artistic, marine and floral themes dominate, expressing images of the natural world. 2000-1600bc is the top of the minoan culture. 1600bc the minoans are under stress and the decline of their culture can be related to the volcano on thera, just north of the island of crete. The ash layer of the volcano went east towards crete, this destabilized the culture because the ash layer effected the distribution cities. When the minoans would be under great stress they would even sacrifice children to appease the gods. 1600-1200bc there is an exchange of power, minoans fade and the mycenaean"s start to thrive on the greek mainland.
