Department(s)

Description

The rise of the Greek civilization in the third and second millennia B.C. in the Aegean Sea region, including the cultures of the Cycladic islands, Minoan Crete, and Mycenaean Greece. The artistic and architectural developments of the Bronze Age provided a foundation on which the wonders of the Greek world were built centuries later. Artifacts (such as the palace at Knossos) are studied in conjunction with myth and legend (such as the tale of Theseus and the Minotaur) in order to illuminate this historical age.
