Crete
Definition: Island that
spawned the Minoan civilization, the first great
civilization in the Aegean world. One of the more famous
Minoan kings was Minos, whose palace at Knossos was a wonder
of architecture. As the ancient Greeks became more powerful,
they absorbed the Minoan civilization into their own.
