Description

Explore the profound impact of Minoan Crete on modern culture with Cretomania: Modern Desires for the Minoan Past. Since the early 20th century, archaeological discoveries by Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos have sparked fascination far beyond the field of archaeology. This volume investigates how these ancient finds have shaped contemporary life and creative expression. This book examines the presence of Minoan influence in diverse areas, including the innovative dances of Sergei Diaghilev and Ted Shawn, as well as its role in public architecture and vernacular design. Readers will learn how the Minoan past has influenced psychoanalysis, literature, sculpture, and fashion. The text even touches upon the presence of these ancient themes in neo-pagan movements. As the first volume dedicated entirely to these modern cultural practices, Cretomania provides a unique perspective on how ancient history continues to shape our modern world.
