Nearly 2,500 years following the golden age of Athens, people around the world continue to be fascinated by the ancient Greeks. But who have the ancient Greeks look up to? The response to that question are available in Homer's
The Odyssey, where Odysseus makes word of "a great town there, Cnossus, where Minos reigned." It was perhaps the earliest reference to the Minoan civilization, a incomprehensible, ancient civilization that historians and archaeologists still puzzle over, but a civilization that renowned historian Will Durant described as "the first hyperlink in the European chain." Nearly 2,000 years before Homer composed his epic poems, the Minoan civilization was devoted to the island of Crete, a spot that required the Minoans to be a regional sea electric power. And indeed these were, stretching over the Aegean Sea from about 2700-1500 BC, with trade routes extending all the way to Egypt. The Minoans may have been the first hyperlink in the "European chain", resulting in the ancient Greeks and beyond, but questions persist in the origins of the civilization, the finish of the civilization, and considerable elements of its history in between, including its faith and complexes.
