Homer
- 750 BC - the author, according to tradition, of the epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey; thought to have traveled from village to village singing about heroic deeds of warriors during the Trojan War; the tales were passed on orally for generations before they were finally written down - no proof he existed - no written language
Minoan
- Aegean civilization that reached its height between 1600 and 1500 B.C.; their success was based on trade, not conquest with trade outposts throughout the Aegean world; they acquired ideas and technology through contact with Egypt and Mesopotamia - we cannot read their writing, we known things because of what they left behind
Minoan Civilization Vanishes
- by about 1400 B.C., Minoan civilization had disappeared; archaeologists are not sure of the reasons for its vanishing; theories include - a sudden volcanic eruption on a nearby island may have rained flaming death on Knossos - an earthquake may have destroyed the palace, followed by an immense wave that drowned the inhabitants of the island - Mycenaean invaders certainly played some role in the destruction of Minoan civilization; these intruders were the the first Greek-speaking people of whom we have a written record
Knossos
