Post-Minoan Crete
Little is known about the Geometric period on post-Minoan Crete (11th - 8th centuries BC). We can be sure that it was a time marked by clashes with the earlier inhabitants of the island for supremacy.

The economy was based on crop cultivation and animal husbandry. The Olympic Pantheon was established as the official religion in the first millennium. The art of this period is epitomised by vase painting, dominated by the Geometric style influences derived from the art of Northern Syrian and Palestine are also apparent, most particularly with regard to metal working.
