Written soon after Arthur Evans began digging at Knossos, this book explains for ordinary readers how the excavations in Crete overturned ideas about early Europe. Baikie sets the legends of Minos, Daedalus and the Labyrinth beside the palaces, frescoes, script and pottery being unearthed, and weighs the links between Minoan Crete, Egypt and Mycenae.
An engaging early account of the Minoan discoveries, for readers who love Greek myth and archaeology. Download the free EPUB.
