History of Crete (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The History of Crete goes back as far as the ancient Minoan civilization. After this civilisation was destroyed by natural catastrophes, Crete developed an Ancient Greece-influenced organization of city states, then successively became part of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Venetian Republic, the Ottoman Empire, and the modern state of Greece.
