In this episode of Chronicles of Ancient Greece, we journey to Crete, the heart of the Minoan civilization, one of the most vibrant and mysterious cultures of the Aegean Bronze Age. We explore their stunning palaces, vibrant frescoes, and advanced society while uncovering the myths that intertwine with history—most famously, the tale of the Minotaur and the labyrinth.

From bustling towns and thriving trade routes to bull-leaping rituals and maritime dominance, the Minoans were masters of innovation and connectivity. But like all great civilizations, their reign came to an end. What caused their downfall? And what is their enduring legacy?

Join us as we unravel the artistry, mythology, and enduring impact of one of the first advanced civilizations of Europe.
