Artful Definitions of the Minoan Society
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp). When we try to investigate Minoan society
we encounter a number of problems regarding the
evidence. Because the climate is frequently wet,
most of the perishable evidence has disappeared
with the weather. This makes it hard to construct a
picture of Minoan society. We have some knowledge
about Minoan people, of course, but this is very
fragmentary: only little aspects of the Minoan
social life are ever revealed at one time, mainly
because the written materials are so few, and
because scholars can read only a very little of
this written evidence. Yet, it appears from their
archeological art, that the Minoans as a society
were much more advanced than others of their time.

physical evidence. Being a costal area leads to
erosion and decay just because of climate. We have
some fragmentary knowledge about Minoan people,
but that must be gleaned from artifacts, since
little remains of written documents. Yet, it this
case visual art gives us the message that the
Minoans as a society were much more advanced than
others of their time. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
