Abstract

Knossos is again at the forefront of publicity. In this book, Gere explores the impact of Minoan culture on the intellectual and artistic life of 20th-century Europe. The chapters develop dramatically, with titles such as “The Birth of Tragedy,” “Stand Up Tragedy,” “The Birth of Farce,” and “Ariadne’s Lament,” giving the impression that we are reading though a play in which Sir Arthur Evans is the chief protagonist, followed by supporting actors such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Robert Graves.
