Centuries before the Parthenon, Greek drama, and the Olympic Games, a highly developed Bronze Age culture evolved in Greece. This was the Mycenaean civilization, where warrior kings ruled from great palaces that dominated the surrounding territories. But the Mycenaeans drew heavily from the early Minoan culture on the island of Crete. In this episode you'll learn about the legendary excavation of the Minoan palace at Knossos, the powerful influence of Minoan culture in the Aegean, and how the Mycenaean Greeks became the dominant power while continuing to follow Minoan cultural models.
