Is Ancient Cretomania Comparable to Our Modern Fascination?

Critomania is a borrowing of mino elements to create something completely new. It's similar to egyptomania, grecomania and helenomania. We find representations of boms in frescoes, potery,. teracota figuris, in tiny, tiny seal stones. And particularly fascinating are the representations of human figures producing acrobatic somersaults over the back of charging bulls. Animal human hybrids do exist in minorncrete but it's also interesting to see that there is no prevalence of bulls necessarily.
