Description

Cretomania explores how Minoan Crete has inspired and shaped modern culture since its rediscovery in the early 20th century through Arthur Evans' excavations at Knossos. This volume examines the profound influence of ancient Minoan civilisation across diverse contemporary practices, including innovative dance movements, architecture, psychoanalysis, literature, sculpture, fashion design, and neo-pagan spirituality. As the first comprehensive study devoted entirely to modern cultural appropriations of Minoan themes, this book reveals how archaeological discoveries transformed public imagination and creative expression. Published by Routledge as part of the British School at Athens Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies series, it offers scholars, historians, and cultural enthusiasts a thorough investigation into the enduring fascination with ancient Crete and its continuing relevance to contemporary society.
