When you visit the site of Knossos, you see a lot of reconstruction with vivid painting by relatively modern archeologists. I have tried to include shots that show the reconstructed palace in its pleasant geographical surroundings.
This is the throne room...
These are modern imitations of ancient paintings...
This is in a museum and is part original fragments, part modern painting...
I have included items from the museum in Heraklion and the Archeological Museum in Athens.
This tiny fragment is probably the most famous painting from Knossos: she is called "La Parisienne."
This culture is probably the most attractive of the ancients, especially for its portrayal of women.
