Minoan

It's amazing how i think the beginning of the twentieth century, some avengard artist just fell in love with things minon. It was something fresh, something very different, something unexpected. And there was something about the minoms that chimed with all kinds of things going on in the early 1900s. From people who were interested in creating new canons of art, what we call early modernism and could draw inspiration from something more primitive to start it all off. The name comes from the legendary king minus, who is mentioned in many ancient greek sources, starting from the homeric poems.
