Aegean civilization is a general term for the Bronze
Age civilizations of Greece and the Aegean. There
are in fact three distinct but communicating and
interacting geographic regions covered by this term:
Crete, the Cyclades and the Greek mainland. Crete is
associated with the Minoan civilization from the
Early Bronze Age, while the Cyclades and the
mainland have distinct cultures. The Cyclades
converge with the mainland during the Early Helladic
("Minyan") period and with Crete in the Middle
Minoan period. From ca. 1450 (Late Helladic, Late
Minoan), the Greek Mycenaean civilization spreads to
Crete. |
