520 _aSince Sir Arthur Evans first brought attention to the Minoans in the early 1890s, the people of Bronze Age Crete have become a fixture in the study of European prehistory as well as a source of romance and myth in the popular imagination. In his latest work, Castleden contests the usual depiction of this people, providing a more informed description of the Minoan way of life. Expanding on the interpretation he began to formulate in his highly acclaimed work, The Knossos Labyrinth, Castleden uses the latest evidence to discuss the nature of the Minoan empire, the problems of interpreting the Mycenean conquest of Crete, and the influence of their society on Cretan prehistory.
