1917 1ed Myths of Crete Ancient Greek Mythology Legends Lore Occult Europe Art
“Myths of Crete and Pre-Hellenic Europe” by Donald Alexander Mackenzie, is part of the early 20th-century “Myth and Legend in Literature and Art” series by The Gresham Publishing Company. In his book, Mackenzie delves into the ancient civilization of Crete, exploring its profound impact on early European history. Using archaeological evidence alongside the superb 36 color and monochromatic plates courtesy of John Duncan, Mackenzie brings to life the daily life, customs, and beliefs of the Cretans. He challenges traditional notions of independent evolution, highlighting instead the interconnections between ancient cultures. The book also examines the distinctive qualities of Cretan art, contrasting it with Egyptian, Assyrian, and Greek art, and celebrates its unique appeal and modern resonance.
