		The earliest Minoan pottery from the Dodecanese (the Serraglio on Kos, Ialysos/Trianda on Rhodes) and the coast of Western Anatolia (Iasos, Miletus, Knidos) is probably also of this period.
		Minoan artists and craftsmen have been considered by some to be resident at some Mainland sites at this time (potters at Ayios Stephanos, smiths at Mycenae).
		It is against this backdrop of marked Minoan cultural expansion in the early Neopalatial period that, in the opinion of most specialists, the later Greek traditions of a Minoan thalassocracy (or sea-empire) must be evaluated for their potential historicity.

		Fountain has disappeared while researching ancient Minoan rites in Cyprus; it is believed that he has become involved with drug-taking criminals, and his friend, British Foreign Office assistant Tony Seymour (Alex Davion), has been given the job of finding Fountain and bringing him home without causing an embarrassing political scandal.

		Fountain's Satanic, blood-drinking friends represent "freedom" and are an obvious stand-in for the counter cultural movement of the late-sixties but as in "Blood On Satan's Claw" they are seen to be no more trustworthy or laudable than the establishment itself.

	Minoan Qe-Ra-Si-Ja. The Religious Impact of the Thera Volcano on Minoan Crete — The Thera Foundation
		The evidence for connecting the goddess 'qe - ra - si - ja' with Thera is considered, and the author speculates on whether she was the object of the pumice cult for which there is widespread evidence on Crete.
		Accorrding to A. Heubeck it further implies that the true name of the goddess, if she was already worshipped before the arrival of the Greeks in Crete, remains unknown to us for the original name was replaced by the Greek formation 'qe - ra - si - ja' that is "The goddess from Qụhērāsos/-ā".
		That a local goddess belonging to the island of Thera was worshipped also in Crete is quite possible since the Minoans were in close contact with that island, as has been proved by the excavations at Akrotiri.
