Its geomorphology and orientation, in conjunction with its size and adequate depth, create a safe harbor throughout the year. Its geo- Tgraphical location at the centre of the Eastern Mediterranean, on the trace of ancient sea-roads, acquires unique strategic importance, thus stimulating the vivid 2 interest from antiquity to the present day. In the gulf of Souda throughout time there have been developed com- plex defensive systems, verifying the continuous interest in the area by the relevant occupants. he gulf of Souda is elongated in shape with maxi- mum length 8km and width 2.600m at the T entrance, which decreases to 1500m due to the existence of two rock-islands at its northern side. To its shallow, sandy cove ends the Moronis torrent and at its sides small bays are shaped, suitable for anchoring, such as of Ag. Marina, Limionari tis Grias to the south, Aspalatheas and Limni to the north, while outside the gulf are the Loutraki and Marathi bays, as well as a small rock- island named Palia Souda or Marathi. At both sides of the gulf the land is semi-mountainous. To the south, at the region of Apokoronas and at the eastern side of the gulf, the large sandy beach of Kalyves with three small rivers is shaped, continuing the fertile mainland.

    MAP INT. ANC. CIV. FINALa 1/14/08 4:08 PM Page 20 Name_________________________________ Date__________________________________ The Minoans Read the paragraph for background information. Then use the map to answer the questions. The Minoans lived entirely surrounded by water on the island of Crete. Sometimes known as the Bull-Jumpers for a popular sport on the island, they might be better known as the ship- builders of the ancient world. They were the first civilization to have a navy. Without their navy, the Minoans might never have developed to the extent that they did. Elsewhere in the Mediterranean Sea, ancient pirates controlled the waters. They would also land at towns and cities along the coast and attack the people to steal their goods. The navy kept the Minoans safe and allowed the culture to flourish. The Minoans produced two famous forms of artwork. They covered their walls in colorful frescoes—paintings made on wet plaster. They also made beautiful sculptures and vessels from bronze and pottery. During the middle Minoan period, writing was developed and palaces were built. The first sophisticated form of writing from the area is now called Linear A. A later form that came from the Greeks is known as Linear B. 1. What was Linear A and how does it relate to Knossos? 2. Which island is closest to 35°N and 24°E? 3. Look at the scale and the measures of latitude and latitude. Why is this information necessary when comparing the map to other maps? 4. How many palace sites are shown on the map? 5.
