Resource: Minoan Archaeology

Description

Using the story of Theseus and the Minotaur as a starting point, this case study examines the archaeological knowledge of Minoan society in the Ancient world. The picture of what we can reconstruct about Minoan life from the archaeological record is then compared to the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur in order to assess the historical accuracy and possible underlying subtexts of this ancient story.
