Crete, the Forerunner of Greece
“The wondrous story of a great civilisation which flourished before Abraham was born, and left behind a memory of itself in the Arts of Ancient Greece and in the traditions of a golden age and a ‘Lost Atlantis.’”
—Evening Standard.
“We have now the material for forming a very fair conception of the fruitful contribution made by Crete to Grecian and European civilisation. What was long accounted fable—statements of Herodotus and Thucydides—have been turned into established fact. The book supplies material for forming judgments on some of the most interesting and still highly debated problems of early Greek history.”
