There is evidence of organized habitation which dates back to 8000 BCE, and the excavations of the 20th century have revealed a splendid civilization which ruled the island and much of the Aegean during the Bronze Age. The Minoan civilization, as it was named, is credited as the first civilization of Europe, it began around 2000 BCE and it lasted for about two millennia before it was replaced on the island by Mycenaean civilization circa 1375, and then by Classical and Hellenistic Greeks, which in turn were replaced by the Romans. The Byzantine empire and the Venetians controlled the island for a few hundred years before the Ottoman empire invaded the island.

Today, Greek constitutes a large part of the vocabulary of any Indo-European language, and much of the lexicon of any scientific repertoire. Modern Greek is a southern dialect adopted as a standardised version of the language and differs substantially from Katharevousa, the artificial language loosely based on Ancient Greek that was instated by various right-wing puritanical regimes this century. Creta also accepts visitors who are interested in economical activities in the area, as well as scientists and educators, who are interested in historical files, historical monuments and museums or are interested to visit the Technical University of Crete, which is an important research center.There is also in Heraclion the universcity of Crete one of the most important research center in modern tehnology.

We see a procession of these animals making a gift to the goddess. Knossos art shows the wolf conducting the bull... Where? For memory there comes a plot of torment.

Sheral Schowe on Wine GETTING STARTED WINE NOTES SEARCH SITE DISCUSSION FORUMS ... CONTACT US The Ancient History of Greek Wines Wine has been important in the Greek society since the 7th century BC. There is, in fact, some evidence of wine being part of the Minoan Crete culture as early as the 2nd millennium BC with archeological discoveries of wine presses and large storage jars found in ancient palaces. There is an incredible amount of recorded history on clay tablets of vineyards and winemaking in the Mycenae culture of 1600 BC, of vineyards and winemaking. Storage jars from this period bear residue of wine along with grape seeds along with the impression of grape vine leaves around the seals. The earliest Greek literature of Homer is full of reference to wine being an essential part of life. Winemaking in Greece was at its peak in between 13th and 11th centuries BC, long before the most famous wine producing regions of the world. Along with wheat and olives, wine was a significant player in the healthy economy of Greece. Viticulture was sophisticated even then, with parallel rows and more than six methods of training the vines depending on the type of soil, type of grape, and strength of the wind. It was the colonization of Greece that brought the vine to Italy, then France and Germany, eventually throughout the empire. Viticultural practices were also shared with the recipients who then created their own unique winemaking techniques. The decline of the Greek civilization resulted in the loss of the famous wines of antiquity. Now, wine represents only a small 2 or 3% of their Gross National Product. Until very recently, Greek wines were appreciated by traditional Greeks, for their resinous or overly sweet characteristics. Younger Greek generations have been aggressively developing modern winemaking techniques which have been influenced by major wine producing regions of the world, most importantly, Bordeaux. It seems that the winemaking has come full circle in for Greece, with the reemergence of excellent quality wines.

Sermons Home Up We Believe In Our Community ... Contact Info The Partnership Way a sermon by THE REV. BRYAN D. JESSUP THE UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CHURCH OF FRESNO, CALIFORNIA SUNDAY APRIL 16, 2000 I want to begin today with two visions. One is a vision of what once was. And the other is a vision of what is and yet may be. The first vision is a vision of the Minoan civilization of ancient Crete. In her book, The Chalice and the Blade , writer Riane Eisler says (quoting archeologist Nicholas Platon) “From the start of excavations in Crete, amazing discoveries were made! As the excavations progressed vast multi-storied palaces, villas, farmsteads, districts of populous, well organized cities, harbors, networks of roads, temples and burial grounds were brought to light!” Eisler goes on to quote other scholars who say of the Minoan culture that it was as perfectly expressive of the higher human impulse as any civilization that has ever existed. It’s culture was sensitive, graceful, full of the love of beauty and nature. Nicholas Platon (again) says that in this culture, the fear of death seems to almost have been obliterated by the joy of living.
