Minoans introduces the Bronze Age civilisation centred on Crete and associated with the palace complexes of Knossos, Phaistos and other sites. It examines seaborne trade, art, religion, architecture and the still partly undeciphered writing systems used on the island. The book also considers relations with Mycenaean Greece, natural disasters and the competing explanations for the decline of the palatial culture that later Greek myth connected with King Minos and the labyrinth.
