The Minoans: Greece Before the Greeks


Adult / Lifelong Learning -
Adult Winter/Spring 2026

This class will explore the history, culture, and especially the art of the first civilization in Europe: the Minoans of the island of modern-day Crete. This egalitarian, peace-loving civilization flourished from circa 3000 B.C. till 1200 B.C. Its impact on ancient Greece cannot be overestimated.
