Detailed explanation-1: -The name “Minoan” derives from the mythical King Minos and was coined by Evans, who identified the site at Knossos with the labyrinth of the Minotaur. The Minoan civilization has been described as the earliest of its kind in Europe, and historian Will Durant called the Minoans “the first link in the European chain".
Detailed explanation-2: -The Minoan civilization lasted from about 2500 bce to about 1400 bce. The Minoans are named for their legendary king Minos. Their capital city was Knossos.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Minoans were not only farmers of olives, but fine craftsmen, making pieces of jewelry, pottery, seals and figurines. Their bronze work places this civilization in the Bronze Age. At the height of their civilization, between 2, 000-1400 BC, the Minoans developed a palace-centered civilization.
Detailed explanation-4: -Off the coast of Greece lies Crete, the fifth-largest island in the Mediterranean and home to one of the first European civilizations. Therefore, Crete is also home to some of the first Mediterranean art.
