		Generally, Cycladic Culture was one of the four great cultures comprising the Aegean Complex, the others being Helladic, Cypriot, and Minoan.
		In the case of the last named, it has been asserted both that they had a practical use (as mirrors, astrolabes, or plates) and they were ritual objects: their frequent presence in tombs, along with the fact that they are decorated with religious symbols, are strong indications that these vessels had a sacred character.
		The Cyclades - the circle of islands surrounding the sacred isle of Delos - developed strong trade ties with each other, as evidenced by the materials used in their art.

	The Thera Catastrophe - Consequences for European Civilization — The Thera Foundation
		What we call European civilization, that is, one essentially based on the Hellenic and Roman cultures and with their underlying concepts and ideals, would certainly not have existed in its present form, if the Thera volcano had remained quiet -or had not existed at all.
		The comparatively homogeneous Cycladic civilization that was now subjected to a strong Minoan influence retained, of course, much of its native character, but the settlements until now explored are Minoan in everything essential: we have a splendid and most illuminative example in Akrotiri, and the evidence from Phylakopi points in the same direction.
		The Helladic civilization is typically primitive European: it is a sturdy agricultural culture with features such as the megaron house and a simple but dearly built-up pottery with a tectonic, geometrically constructed decoration.
