Sir Arthur Evans excavated the site of Knossos on Crete in 1899

Homer’s description of Minoans in the Odyssey ( ) There is a land called Crete... ringed by the wine-dark sea with rolling whitecaps— handsome country, fertile, thronged with people well past counting—boasting ninety cities, language mixing with language side-by-side. First come the Achaeans, then the native Cretans, hardy, gallant in action, then Cydonian clansmen, Dorians living in three tribes, and proud Pelasgians last. Central to all their cities is magnificent Cnossos, the site where Minos ruled and each ninth year conferred with almighty Zeus himself.
