The island of Crete was an important place for cultural and
economic exchanges between Greeks and Near Easterners in the Aegean
during the 1st millennium BC. Kommos and its temple provided
materials that attest the connections between different
populations, such as Greeks and Phoenicians. An examination of
these objects and those from other Cretan sites such as Knossos,
the Idaean Cave and Eleutherna is presented in this book. Moreover,
the case of Kommos is compared to other Aegean cult structures with
similar characteristics, such as the Sanctuary of Apollo in
Eretria, the Heraion of Samos, the temple of Kition in Cyprus and
the Temple of Vroulia in Southern Rhodes. These appear to be not
just religious spaces but also economic and social meeting points,
integrated into networks of commercial districts connected by land
and sea routes. The book aims to understand the Phoenician presence
and trade in Aegean temples, as well as how Crete shaped its role
within the context of Mediterranean trade routes from the East to
the West.
