BELL WORK 10/14 GREEK CIVILIZATION

Many natural bays allow for harbors used for trade

Long Sea CoastMountains &

Valleys Allow for the

development of fiercely independent city states or polis

Small populations give rise to political participation by commoners

GEOGRAPHY OF ANCIENT GREECE

Discovered by Sir Arthur Evans

Located on the Island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea

Enjoyed great prosperity due to extensive sea trade and commerce

Developed elaborate skills in art and architecture, visible in their great palaces

MINOAN CIVILIZATION2000-1450 BCE

We talked a lot about how geography or location affected Egypt and Mesopotamia, how do you think the location of Crete affected the Minoans?

Knossos was the capital city of the Minoan Empire

The palace housed rooms for the royal family, banquet halls, and working areas for artisans

The palace also had a number of shrines (areas dedicated in honor of different gods & goddesses) & frescoes (which are water color paintings done on wet plaster)

ART IN KNOSSOS

What does this image tell use about Minoan culture?

FRESCOES

Crazy thing about Minoan culture is that ALL of the gods (well goddesses) we have found evidence of have been female.

What is the significance of this compared to other ancient civilizations?

What is this mother goddess holding?

Minoans also worshiped Bulls – have you ever heard of bulls in religion before?

RELIGIOUS SHRINES

By 1400 BC something took out the Minoans, it could have been any of the following:

volcanic eruption earthquake invaders What we do know is that a new civi l ization

took their place, we call them the Mycenaeans

MINOAN CIVILIZATION DISAPPEARS

Conquered mainland Greece & Crete around 1400 BC & ruled until about 1200 BC

Kings were known by the title Wanax

The Mycenaeans were also great sea traders.

They lived in separate city-states & were ruled by a warrior king

Most famous for their part in the Trojan War

MYCENAEAN CIVILIZATION
