Minoan Hellenistic & Roman Crete
This coffee-table book aspires to inspire the reader to get acquainted with and explore Minoan and Ancient Crete. The unbroken thread of the history of Crete is lost in the mists of time. When the infinite natural beauty of the island and its strategic location inspired the first inhabitants of the island. Homer clearly describes Crete as the southernmost of the Greek islands, the land where one of the most ancient and most glorious cultures of Europe, the Minoan civilisation, flourished. The earliest advanced civilisation of Europe and the “first link in the European chain” according to historians.
