6 King Minos Legend of the Labyrinth
7 The Minotaur King Minos angered the gods and as revenge they allowed his wife to mate with a bull. She produced the Minotaur. He was hidden in a maze. During the Mycenaean time, Athens and Crete were at war. Athens lost and Crete demanded tribute in the form of 7 maidens and 7 young boys. They were fed to the Minotaur. Theseus, long lost son of Aegeus (king of Athens), kills the Minotaur and frees Athens.

17 The Labyrinth Sir Arthur Evans: excavated a settlement on Greece which had maze-like walls. He noticed the labrys or double-axes which were present on the walls and roof tops. Evans connected the idea of labyrs with labyrinth and coined the term Minoan society after the Greek myth of Minos and the Minotaur.

56 Economy (Palace and Naval)
57 MINOAN PALACE COMPLEXES and Economy The civilization was prosperous and widespread. Government was based in the large palace complexes Knossos covered nearly three acres Socialistic: redistribution of wealth. Palaces controlled the commercial, agricultural, and manufacturing activities of surrounding regions. The palace complexes were the result of a massive trade network. Monarchy

61 MINOAN COMMERCE and AGRICULTURE Commerce was very important Acted as trade intermediary between civilized and barbarian worlds Exported wool, olive oil and timber in exchange for other raw materials and luxury items Built large and technologically advanced merchant and military navy
62 Linear A Minoans invented system of writing, two scripts survive Linear A (in use by 1800 BCE) remains mysterious but is not Indo-European Linear B (appears 300 years later) early form of Greek
63 Art, Architecture, and Religion Architecture: borrowed from Near East Large complex Running water/waste disposal Art: Nature Worshipers Abstract and sea creatures Whimsical and Vibrant Peaceful Plant life No fortifications Pottery
64 Other Minoan Sites Phaisots, Mallia, Zakro, Pylos, Thera
65 Eruption of thera and the Mycenaean People The eruption of Thera probably impacted Crete around 1640 or 1500 BC. The Minoans rebuilt but were occupied around BC by Mycenaean people. They were attracted by the trade centric culture of the Minoans. Learned: art, trade, architecture, government, and writing. Linear A vs Linear B Crete was occupied by the Mycenaean people until around 1200 when all of the Mediterranean area went into decline caused by the Sea Peoples.
66 Intersections between Minoans, Egypt, and Mesopotamia until 1500 BC Middle Kingdom of Egypt beginning with the time of Amenemhet II around 1930 BC we start to see artifacts from Aegean civilizations appear in the Delta region. During the Hyksos ( BC), there is evidence of painting spread throughout the Delta area and some Palestinian sites. By the reign of Thutmose III (New Kingdom, 1450ish), Crete was destroyed.
67 END OF MINOAN CIVILIZATION Around 1450 BC Indo-Europeans invaded from the Greek Mainland (Mycenaean) Minoan Civilization still survived Can to an end around 1375 All palaces destroyed and never rebuilt Theory 1 Invaded by Mycenaean people in 1400 BC Destroyed Crete to eliminate Minoans as trade rivals Theory 2 Massive volcanic eruption on island of Thera showered Crete with debris, ash, and poison gas Destroyed fleets with tidal waves Mycenaean people arrived after catastrophe and destroyed what was left
