Excerpt from Cretan Elements in the Cults and Ritual of Apollo: A Dissertation
Recent excavations in Crete have placed in the forefront of Hellenic study the problem of determining what influences sur vived from the old Aegean religion in Hellenic worship. This debt which Greece owed to Crete is one that the ancients them selves recognized. Although the writers who mention this point did not have as an aid the monumental evidence which we possess, their testimony proves that myths and tradi tions survived in their time which recalled Cretan influ ence in religion no less than in institutions, laws, and art. Diodoros Siculus records the boast of the Cretans that most of the gods worshipped among men went from Crete to other lands, citing in particular, Zeus, Demeter, Aphrodite, Artemis and Apollo1 he notes also the claim that the mysteries had their origin among them and were communicated to Greece through their agency.' The Cretans undoubtedly overstated the case, even where the Greek gods are concerned. It is, however, undeniable that a certain element of truth lurks behind many of these traditions.
