on a goddess figure associated with nature, snakes, and fertility, worshipped in palace shrines and open-air peak sanctuaries. Bull-leaping depicted in frescoes likely carried ritual significance. Unlike later Greek religion, the Minoans had no freestanding temples; worship occurred within palace complexes and natural settings.

Mycenaean Greeks subsequently dominated Crete, forming a hybrid culture that persisted until ~1100 BCE. @t[~1450 BCE..~1100 BCE] --- [^1]: Evans, A. *The Palace of Minos at Knossos* (1921–1935) [^2]: Driessen, J. & Macdonald, C. *The Troubled Island* (1997) ---- - -## Review Queue - - -- [x] `@q[temporal]` Line 10: "Region: Crete and Aegean islands" - when was this true? -> Historical event.
