"The Sea-Kings of Crete" by Rev. James Baikie is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the extraordinary investigations into the prehistoric civilization of Crete and the myths surrounding it, aiming to provide a clear narrative about the emergence of one of the earliest cultures in Europe. In this work, Baikie seeks to unveil the connection between ancient legends and historical facts, particularly as they pertain to the legendary King Minos and the Minoan civilization. At the start of the book, Baikie introduces the renewed interest in the prehistoric age of Greece resulting from recent archaeological discoveries that have fundamentally altered prior perceptions of early European culture. He discusses how myths associated with figures like King Minos and the famed labyrinth have roots in historical events and real civilizations, particularly through the significant contributions of explorers like Schliemann and Evans. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how the material evidence from Crete bolsters the legends of the past, inviting readers to reconnect with the vibrant stories of ancient Greece.
