CRETE, THE FORERUNNER 

 OF GREECE 



Map, Plans, etc. 



" The wondrous story of a great civili- 

 sation which flourished before Abraham 

 was born, and left behind a memory of 

 itself in the Arts of Ancient Greece and 

 in the traditions of a golden age and a 

 1 Lost Atlantis.' " — Evening Standard. 



" We have now the material for forming 

 a very fair conception of the fruitful con- 

 tribution made by Crete to Grecian and 

 European civilisation. What was long 

 accounted fable — statements of Herodo- 

 tus and Thucydides — have been turned 

 into established fact. The book supplies 

 material for forming judgments on some 

 of the most interesting and still highly 

 debated problems of early Greek history."
