Gr 4-6-Caselli begins his well-written, eye-catching introduction to the Minoan civilization by recounting the fascinating legend of the Minotaur that lived on Crete at "the dawn of time." Following this is an account of the excavations and discoveries of archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans. Two-page spreads cover various aspects of Minoan life and history. Colorful, detailed drawings and photographs depict archaeological digs, buildings, interiors, architectural features, decorative arts, and artifacts. A number of maps are included. Peter Hicks's Troy and Knossos (RSVP, 1996) has excellent photographs of restored sections of the palace and more detailed information about the decoding of Linear B, the later form of Cretan writing.-Cynthia M.

This review is from: In Search of Knossos : The quest for the Minotaur's labyrinth (Hardcover)
This book was a nice addition to our homeschool library. Fits well with a lesson in The Mystery of History Vol. 1. - Was appropriate for my child who is in 5th grade.
