82. GNTO-Greek Islands-Crete-History & Culture During the 7th century BC, crete was the cultural and art center of Greece.Unfortunately, the next century was characterized by the constant fight between http://www.hri.org/infoxenios/english/crete/history.html

BIRTH OF ZEUS According to mythology, Zeus, the God of gods, was born in Crete. Cronus, his father, trying to avoid his parents' curse that one of his children would take away from him the ruling of the sky, murdered his children one-by-one, by eating them. His wife, Rhea, terrified and chased by her husband, sought refuge in a cave in the ancient "Aegean Mountain", and, with the help of Uranus and Gaia, gave birth to her last child. Cronus was fooled with a rock in dipers and the loud singing and dancing of demons "Kourites", covering the noise of the newborn's cry. Zeus was rased by the Nymphs, drinking milk from goat Amalthia, the later became a star and her skin was Zeus' shield. When Zeus grew up, he defeated Cronus and became the ruler of the sky. The rock that had fooled his father was put in Delfphi, to remind mortals and gods of his glorious power. MINOS' REIGN Minos bewed Pasiphae, the daughter of Sun and nymph Crete and together had eight children, Androgeos, Katreas, Glafkos, Dafkalion, Ariadne, Xenodiki, Akalli and Phaedra. According to mythology, when Minos asked Neptune for a sign that would mean he would become the King of Crete, from the sea emerged a beautiful bull that Minos refused to sacrifice, thus irritating Neptune who punished Minos by making his wife Pasiphae fall in love with the white bull. Pasiphae, with the help of a wooden cow made by Daedalus, was united with the bull and gave birth to Minotaur, who had the body of a human and the head of a bull. According to myth, this creature lived in the Labyrinth, in the palace's underground and was fed with the blood of youngsters. The famous Athenean hero Theseus defeated Minotaur and releaved Athens from the harsh "blood tax" that paid to this supernatural creature.

83. Lost Continent Of Atlantis Minoan culture extended across the island of crete, with most of its developmentsalong the northern coast of crete. But after 800 years of dominance, http://www.laketech.com/AD_LC.HTML

The Lost Continent of Atlantis Plato gave the world the oldest remaining written account of Atlantis, in Critias, recorded circa 370 BC. By his account, Poseidon, god of the sea, sired five pairs of male twins with mortal women. Poseidon appointed the eldest of these sons, Atlas the Titan, ruler of his beautiful island domain. Atlas became the personification of the mountains or pillars that held up the sky. Plato described Atlantis as a vast island-continent west of the mediterranean, surrounded by the Atlantic ocean. The Greek word Atlantis means the island of Atlas, just as the word Atlantic means the ocean of Atlas. Atlantis was governed in peace, was rich in commerce, was advanced in knowledge, and held dominion over the surrounding islands and continents. By Plato's legend, the people of Atlantis became complacent and their leaders arrogant; in punishment the Gods destroyed Atlantis, flooding it and submerging the island in one day and night. In a sense, Atlantis actually existed, and was indeed destroyed by the sea in a cataclysmic event, very plausibly lasting a day and a night. Plato's account was wrong in several essential ways, but was derived from correct, if garbled, historical accounts. Plato's writings embodied the now lost words of Solon, a Greek ruler who visited Egypt circa 590 BC. Plato's account of Atlantis was thus a retelling of the story of Solon, who in turn told the stories that he had heard during his trip to Egypt. In Egypt, Solon heard of the ancient land of Keftiu, a island-nation named for holding one of the four pillars that supported the Egyptian sky. Keftiu was, according to the Egyptians, an advanced civilization that was the gateway to and ruler of all of the lands to the far west of Egypt. Keftiu traded in ivory, copper, and cloth. Keftiu supported hosts of ships and controlled commerce far beyond the Egyptians domain. By Egyptian record, Keftiu was destroyed by the seas in an apocalypse. Solon carried this story to Greece, and passed it to his son and grandson.

The introduction of bronze stimulated its industries, but caused no more change in its national characteristics than has been effected in China by the introduction of electric lighting in our own day. "With the help of Egyptian synchronisms", writes Mr. H. R. Hall, "we know that the Minoan civilization was nearly, if not quite, as old as the Egyptian. . . . If we date the beginnings of Egyptian history about 3500 B.C., we have not long to wait before we find indisputable traces of connection between Egypt and Crete."

85. Greece Travel: Crete Review of the island of crete by Matt Barrett from his Greece Travel Not everybody cares about tradition or is enamoured with the culture of crete. http://www.greecetravel.com/crete/

The Island of Crete Sometimes people send me their desired itineraries to Greece for comment and suggestions. Many times along with their 3 days in Mykonos and two days in Santorini they want to do 2 days in Crete. My advise to them is to forget it. Unless they have at least a week to spend on Crete, I tell them to go elsewhere. Crete is simply too big and too multi-dimensional to breeze in and out of for a couple days. It would be like stopping in New York for a couple hours. What's the point if all you will see is Times Square? But I have come to praise Crete, not to discourage those travelers who come to Greece looking for the real thing. Crete is spectacular and if you take the time to get to know it, you will probably return. Getting to Crete Getting to Crete is easy. If you are a backpacker you simply take the subway to Pireaus sometime before 6pm, decide which port in Crete you want to arrive at, buy a ticket and get on the boat. It's a 12 hour trip and if it is a warm summer night and you are in your sleeping bag under the stars on the top deck you may never want the journey to end. If you prefer a cabin then you should get your tickets in advance through a

THE GLOBAL AFRICAN COMMUNITY H I S T O R Y N O T E S north entrance of Palace of Knossos MINOAN CRETE AFRICAN INFLUENCED FORERUNNER OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATIONS By RUNOKO RASHIDI "The first civilization of Europe was established on the island of Crete. It is called the Minoan Culture, after King Minos, an early legendary ruler of the island. The ancestors of the Cretans were natives of Africa, a branch of Western Ethiopians." John G. Jackson M inoan Crete, the forerunner of Greek civilization, is the earliest known European high-culture. Although modest in size (170 miles east to west, thirty-five miles north to sourth), Crete exercised immeasurable influence on the Aegean archipelago, Western Asia and the Greek mainland. Throughout Crete the vestiges of complex palaces, paved highways, aqueducts, terra-pipes for drainage, and irrigation canals provide plentiful proof of Minoan ingenuity in the areas of scientific and technical innovation. The Minoans possessed registed trademarks, uniform weights and measures, calendrical systems based on precise astronomical observations and advanced writing systems. Interestingly enough, there were few fortifications on the island. British archaeologist Arthur Evans (1851-1941), who conducted excavations on the island, was convinced of African migrations to ancient Crete and noted "the multiplicity of these connections with the old indigenous race of the opposite African coast." The late African-American cultural historian John G. Jackson (1907-1993) advocated the view the Minoan civilization was rooted in Africa, and believed that the ancestors of the Minoans "dwelt in the grasslands of North Africa before that area dried up and became a great desert. As the Saharan sands encroached on their homeland, they took to the sea, and in Crete and neighboring islands set up a maritime culture."

Crete Property Consultants Greek Culture Stepping back into another century Katy Hamilaki has created a charming restaurant tucked away in the secluded village of Katalagari; only 15 minutes drive from Hiraklion. If you want to explore real Crete, then a visit to this village for a great meal and a walk among the wild flowers in Spring, winemaking in Autumn and many other local, traditional events all the year round. Katalagari, a rural village, surrounded by clean, lush countryside and pure fresh air - stunning mountain and rural views is the home to 'Logari'. Every week school children from around Crete are brought to the village to learn the basics of Cretan cooking, how to find snails and herbs and with a small screen and projector learn to enjoy some of the history of the cuisine. They are shown how to bake bread, and return home with a small loaf to bake in their own ovens at home when the dough is ready. Many plans ferment in Katy’s fertile mind. Aromatic bottles of oil, Cretan dancing lessons... the real thing again, not the presentation made for "Cretan evenings" by the tour guides nearby to the tourist resorts. Here, in Katalogari, Katy Hamilaki presents, and enjoys a return to Crete as it was not so long ago. All are welcome, single passers by, cyclists, parties for special celebrations or locals looking for a warm, relaxing meal. In winter the huge log fire blazes sending the scent of olive wood through the restaurant and in summer the big windows open onto the roof terrace with panoramic rural views spreading out before diners eyes.

The Moon Over Crete Previous Excerpt Next Excerpt November 14, 1995 Jyotsna Sreenivasan, author of The Moon Over Crete EvaS: Our guest tonight is Jyotsna Sreenivasan, author of "The Moon Over Crete". It's a book for 8 years and up, but I loved it. :D Jo, please tell us about the book. Would you outline the plot a bit, please? Jyotsnas: Sure. It's a time-travel adventure novel. Lily, the main character, goes back in time to ancient Crete, where women and men are equal. She has various adventures there and experiences for herself what true equality would feel like. EvaS: Why did you create this world in the first place? What did you have in mind? Jyotsnas: I have always been a feminist. Feminism works for equality between women and men, but I feel that many people don't understand what equality is. They can't imagine it. They think if women are "equal" it must mean women would rule over men. Because the only thing we see around us are some people on the top, and most others at the bottom. So I wanted to help children envision a world of equality. I thought children would be more amenable to influence than adults! :) No, really, I remembered how when I was a girl. I believed everything I read! So, I wanted to give kids some good egalitarian values. ElephasMax: I was just wondering if the choice of Crete was arbitrary or if they really were equal there back then. From what I know of Athens and Sparta, I would naturally assume Crete to be the same.

Sub-Minoan period 1100-1000 BC The earliest inhabitants may have come from Asia Minor. Their culture was still relatively primitive, but it had reached the stage of production, involving the cultivation of the soil and the keeping of domesticated animals. They knew how to make fine burnished pottery , frequently decorated with incised geometric motifs , and were capable of building stone houses, though they also still made use of caves for habitation. Metals were as yet unknown and the tools and weapons they needed (hammers, axes, knives etc.) were made of a range of hard stones, and obsidian from the Cycladic Island of Milos.
