The Minoan religion in Knossos was based on Greek mythology. Some religious symbols were seen on clay tablets, wall paintings, and floor mosaics. Their art showed that they worshiped the Mother Godesses of fertility, animals, cities, households, harvest, and the underworld. Greek mythology played a big role in the Minoan culture. |

The Minoans worshipped in L-shaped temples. These temples were home to the Priests-kings. They also housed families, storerooms, and craftsmen. In the temples were sacred symbols such as bulls, bull horns, double axes, pillars, snakes, suns, and trees. One of the main highlights in the Minoan culture was the Palace of Knossos. The palace covered 24,000 yards, had more than sixty rooms, and was four stories high! |
