In this episode of Chronicles of Ancient Greece, we journey to Crete, the heart of the Minoan civilization, one of the most vibrant and mysterious cultures of the Aegean Bronze Age. We explore their stunning palaces, vibrant frescoes, and advanced society while uncovering the myths that intertwine with history—most famously, the tale of the Minotaur and the labyrinth.

From bustling towns and thriving trade routes to bull-leaping rituals and maritime dominance, the Minoans were masters of innovation and connectivity. But like all great civilizations, their reign came to an end. What caused their downfall? And what is their enduring legacy?

Join us as we unravel the artistry, mythology, and enduring impact of one of the first advanced civilizations of Europe.

This week, the journey gets even more confusing, as Odysseus and his crew, instead of sailing straight back to Ithaca, start criss crossing the entire Mediterranean and apparently also the underworld. Odysseus' crew also show their animalistic side. Literally. Meanwhile, our hero stays with a witch for a year and fathers a child with her. Does he even want to get home?

- Re-Uploaded with better quality - This week, we trade in Minoan frescoes for Mycenaean fortresses, diving into the gritty rise of the Mycenaean civilization—where kings ruled with bronze swords in one hand and bureaucratic tablets in the other. From Cyclopean walls that made invaders think twice, to Linear B scribes who documented everything from chariot wheels to goat debts, the Mycenaeans were as much about paperwork as they were about warfare. But even their impressive defenses couldn’t fend off the creeping collapse of a once-great society. Join us as we unravel how a civilization of warriors and administrators laid the groundwork for Greek legends, only to fall into the shadows of history.
