This volume sheds new light on the religion of Minoan Crete through the presentation 13 articles by specialists in this field. The contributions provide important new information on ritual places and archaeological contexts, votive offerings and iconographic depictions of rituals and deities, as well as reconstructions of religious ceremonies, the meaning of symbols, and reflections of the spirituality of Minoan religion. Additionally, contributions deal with the nature of the deities, the debate on monotheism versus polytheism, and the interrelation of religion and political power. Although the focus of this volume is on Neopalatial Crete, the collection includes also material from other periods and Aegean regions under Minoan influence. Through a dialogue with past interpretations and by using manifold methods and approaches, this volume reflects the progress made in the field of Minoan religion.
