The first Bronze Age civilization the Proto-Greeks came into contact with was the Minoan Civilization. The Minoans were a powerful maritime empire that ruled the Aegean Sea for over a thousand years. But how do we know anything about the Minoans, aside from mythology, and who was it who discovered them? Join us in this episode, where we follow the adventures of Sir Arthur Evans as he uncovers the mighty Minoan Palace of Knossos.

The History of Modern Greece covers the events of the Greek People from the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, all the way through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922.
