The author defines the essential characteristics of a distinctive Cretan culture, setting this within its contemporary historical and geographical context - not only Greece but also the eastern Mediterranean and Egypt. She discusses the major themes of daily life such as social and economic organization, agriculture, architecture and religion, drawing upon the latest archaeological evidence, including examples of the deciphered Linear B script, to paint an authoritative portrait of a fascinating and sophisticated culture."--Jacket.
