The Minotaur's Island Produced by Lion Television for Channel Four Originally broadcast by Channel Four in October 2003 (This capture is from a later re-broadcast on the History Channel) http://www.liontv.co.uk/_london/_images/programmes/minotaurs.jpg Presented by Bettany Hughes ("Seven Ages of Britain", "The Spartans", "Helen of Troy", "When the Moors Ruled Europe") The mysterious island of Crete has always had a hold on our imagination. It's the legendary birthplace of Zeus and the realm of the cruel tyrant King Minos, whose beautiful daughter led Theseus into the underground lair of the terrifying man-beast--the Minotaur. Just over 100 years ago, an English archaeologist went to the island of Crete to explore the roots of this myth and discovered instead a sophisticated Bronze Age civilisation that had been lost to history for thousands of years. Arthur Evans made one of the world's greatest archaeological discoveries when he uncovered the lost world of the people he called Minoans. Evans' discovery was truly spectacular--a city under the ground. Bettany Hughes explores Crete's stunning scenery and the remains of the Minoan's prehistoric society--a rich and strange world where breathtaking art stood alongside human sacrifice and where powerful priestesses and athletic bull-leapers inhabited maze-like palaces. But how did it all end? Hughes explores the reasons for the Minoan apocalypse, a series of dramatic and sudden natural disasters and man-made catastrophes that led to the eclipse of a unique and fascinating civilisation. Weighing up rival archaeological claims from both past and present, she offers her own insights into an ancient civilisation that gave dramatic birth to 'Europe's first civilisation' on the Minotaur's Island.
