22 Aegean Art Key Concepts The art of the Cyclades, the islands off of Greece to its east, Crete, and the western Greek mainland, Mycenae reveal a rich history of Greece before Greek Art, as we think of it, has begun being made. Cycladic art shows us a people who were interested in music and life, as well as with some funerary rituals. Women also appear to be important in this culture. The art of Crete, especially the Palace at Knossos, reveals a vibrant, lively culture in which a relationship to the sea was of fundamental importance. Bull imagery was also important to the Cretan people. The art of Mycenae reveals a culture focused on its own defense, suggesting that it was warring with others.
