Dedalos Research Paper

Five miles off the northern coast of the island of Crete, located between two streams, is the capital of the Minoan empire Cnossos (sometimes spelled Knossos). The Minoans built two palaces in Knossos. The First was built around the beginning of the Middle Minoan period (2000-1580 BCE). This palace was made of “isolated structures built around a rectangular court.” This palace was destroyed in 1720 BCE by an earthquake. After it was destroyed a second grandeur palace was built. It “measured some 750 square meters in area.” This palace had administrative and ceremonial quarters and a basement for storing “wheat, oil, and treasure.” After 1400 BCE the second Palace was destroyed by fire. During its existence the Palace served as the political

I usually do one line of my mother's side, and once my road block was cleared of who my 3rd great grandfather's father was, that arrived in Canada via New York and Albany in August 1785, the line was very well documented in Clan and Peer books. Other lines are obscured with the lack of records when they arrived, born, married, lived and died all before regular census records. So the quilt has many holes.

The Palace of Knossos was the capital of Minoan Crete. The Place is grander, complex and flamboyant than any of the other palaces known to us. Knossos is located about twenty minutes south of the modern port town of Iraklion. The British Archaeologist Arthur Evans, the man who excavated the site in 1900 AD restored parts of the palace in a way that it is possible today to appreciate the grandeur and complexity of a structure that evolved over several millennia and grew to occupy about 20,000 square meters.

Which was located on the north coast and had been occupied in the Neolithic period but the had been built over with multiple Bronze Age Structures. Evans called the complex a “Palace, a some believed to have been the home of the mythical King Minos. It was because of this theory that he named the culture found on the island, Minoan. These palaces are now considered by some to have been the administrative centers and living quarters of hereditary rules while others believe that Crete was not ruled by kings but a confederation of aristocratic

The world of transportation is constantly evolving. Innovators all over the world are trying to find to create new forms of transportation that is fast and efficient. One innovator, Elon Musk, has created the Hyperloop; a new idea for transportation of passengers and cargo. The Hyperloop travels the country within tubes allowing passengers and cargo to enter and exit at specific locations throughout the country. It travels faster than the speed of an airplane at the price of a bus ticket. The one-million dollar donation provided by the Board of Education should fund the creation of a Hyperloop station in Delphos.

There are scarce traces of history of the Old Palace period, c. 1900-1700 BCE of the Minoan people. The term Minoans derived from Greek myths concerning the legendary king of Crete, Minos, who ruled a vast sea empire. With most myths, there is a grain of truth to be taken away. The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur where Athens had to send a yearly sacrifice of its children to Crete, reflects Minoan rule and indicates that they partook in human sacrifice to the gods. The Knossos “palace”, later known as the Labyrinth rooted from labrys by the greeks and became home of the legendary beast, the Minotaur.

Comparing both portraits have realistic facial expression, facial structure, detail on each facial part like ears, nose, eyes, lips to get all the feature on it. Both also show the ages on their facial to bring more a likeness of the character of the portrait. The portrait of the man (fig.6.18) is made from terra cotta. With the influence of the geek technique, it features on its own is the aging facial, with a casual expression, and one part of the ear look crooked or broken from its view. The way they did Etruscan sculpture like this one, using the material for it, lent itself in easy to modeling of distinctive facial feature and sensitive treatment of the flesh and textures of their sculpture (pg.177). The Delos portrait is a rare art from

The Minoan Civilization began on the Mediterranean island of Crete. It was first excavated by Sir Arthur Evans. The possible civilization sparked his interest when a charm that the Minoans use to wear was found, and it was brought to his attention. He started at Knossos, where the possible civilization became a reality. He uncovered multiple palaces, which have all been named since then. They are named: Knossos, Phaistos, Malia, and Zakros. Each one shows signs of religion, trade, and politics. They believed these palaces controlled the Minoan civilization. These Palaces seemed to co-exist on this small island because there are no signs of wall fortifications or protection. Although they were able to stand their ground when challenged because they made swords, daggers, and armor.

In 1948 Ernesto De Martino, a now famous italian historian of religions, ethnologist and antropologist wrote a now famous book ("Il mondo magico", meaning 'The magical world') in which he considered the (very large) amount of data ethnologists from the 19th century collected about anomalous, 'magical' events - magical powers in particular. Parapsychology, which at the time was taken much more seriously than today, used to provide a supposedly scientifical demonstration of a range of paranormal abilities in humans, from clairvoyance to telepathy and even materialization. So he considered the results af ethnology and those of parapsychology and said to himself: 'I've always thought magic was obviously unreal but, all taken into account, it appears this is not obvious at all. What should I believe?'. In "Il mondo magico" he gave his answer to this dilemma.

As the sun’s warm touch gently reflects upon the water, a swan journeys down the canal, her elegance catching the eyes of even the blind. Her snow white wings extend with the utmost sophistication and with an effortless thrust she glides along the water carrying us in her wake. The heart of Venice has been pierced by the loss of our Desdemona. She was the embodiment of empathy and the epitome of a strong decisive woman, yet she was undone by her naivety and lack of maturity. Duke of Venice, distinguished Senators, invited guests and people of Venice, I thank you for welcoming me as Governor of Cyprus to Saint Mark’s Cathedral as we mourn the passing and pay homage to a woman who was a treasured child of your ostentatious city.

By the time that ancient Athens was developing, the Minoan civilization had already been basically abandoned. Elements of Minoan history, however, seem to have worked their way into Athenian mythologies. Many historians now believe that the Labyrinth legend was inspired by the complex and maze-like palace of Knossos. The Minotaur was a product of the bull imagery associated with Minoan kings. In this context, Theseus' defeat of the Minotaur and marrying of Minos' daughter could symbolize a transition of power in the Mediterranean. Minoan civilization was going into decline, while Athenian civilization was on the

Literary writers have the innate ability to take a reader on a journey through fairy tale lands or magical and mythological epic adventures. Their words shape the direction of the journey with imagery and mental references to past adventures. The writer’s word choice greatly influences the reader. This may suggest the author’s view on a particular controversial topic. The author’s values, views, moral compass and religious background can influence and affect their writing style. The creative process literary writers utilize can also be easily swayed by politics, mood, society or war. The French 12th and 13th medieval period is an era containing many of these topics. Literary figures of this period explore and expose many of these themes in their

According to Greek mythology, architect Daedalus designed the palace of Knossos with great complexity. The objective of Daedalus’ plan was to make the palace so complicated finding one’s way out would be an impossible task (Sakoulas). Other versions of the story state that Daedalus designed the labyrinth, a maze like structure, with a double-bladed ax which contained the Minotaur, a half-man half-bull figure (Mark, 2010). Whatever the basis of the story may be, King Minos wanted to ensure the secret to escaping be kept confidential. In order to do so, King Minos demanded Daedalus and his son, Icarus, be held as prisoners in the palace. Being the clever man Daedalus was, he anticipated the kings move. Daedalus installed two sets of wings for him and his son to escape from the island.
