About this episode

Bernie Taylor discusses the historical and mythical significance of Crete, including its connections to Atlantis and the Minoans.

Bernie Taylor is back. Our guide around the Meditterean took me up on talking about Crete, We still haven't deciphered it's writings, but it's influence outsizes the island's size. From the legend of Atlantis to the Minoans and myths such as the Minotaur, on to any Phoenician connections, Crete looms large. Listen in and let's see if we can't separate some facts from fiction, and maybe leave some things in the gray.
