- W57779222 abstract "Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different fromthe rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. Thepurpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy.Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus(Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions andarchaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources,including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; inboth cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historiansof Krete.While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greekinhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, thesymbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo arenot, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated onKrete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac riteshad much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization ofpederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but thelatter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete thanelsewhere, and were associated with different gods. Laws were inscribed earlier and ingreater quantity on Krete than elsewhere, and it is argued that Sparta’s constitution wasmodeled on Krete’s, rather than vice versa. Despite opportunities for cities to meet, andthe establishment of the Hellenistic koinon, the Kretans rarely spoke with a single voice.There is little evidence of historical colonization into or from Krete, and the island wasuniquely uninvolved in outside wars and alliances over the period considered." @default.
