Anna Michailidou chronicles the history, architecture, and mythology surrounding Knossos with scholarly authority, guiding readers through its labyrinthine corridors, grand throne rooms, and vibrant frescoes that have captivated historians and travelers for over a century. The work details the excavations led by Sir Arthur Evans in the early twentieth century, which brought this Bronze Age civilization back to light, while also addressing ongoing debates about reconstruction and interpretation. Written with clarity and precision, it illustrates the remarkable sophistication of Minoan culture — from its advanced drainage systems to its breathtaking artistic traditions — making complex archaeological findings accessible to both the general visitor and the serious student of antiquity. An indispensable companion for anyone drawn to the mysteries of the ancient Aegean world, this guide stands as an authoritative and enduring reference on one of archaeology's most celebrated discoveries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810566844635,"sku":"2026200006851-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/744918da-7f4d-4ea5-a58a-689987f26e9d.png?v=1779805328","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006851-secondhand-knossos-a-complete-guide-to-the-palace-of-minos","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
