''A well-written and richly informed work, which forcefully reasserts the validity of the ways eminent scholars, going back to the early work of Sir Arthur Evans more than a century ago, thought. In many ways it is a tour de force of scholarship, embodying new insights and illuminating points of detail.'' Colin Renfrew Times Literary Supplement ''An exhilarating book, breezily written with a hands-on approach to the material.'' Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections ''A multifaceted, innovative work that freshly interprets many aspects of the Minoan religious symbol system. Without a doubt, this book will stimulate extensive scholarly discussion.'' Thomas Staubli, co-author of Body Symbolism in the Bible ''A radical and provocative view of Minoan art, religion, and society.
