a Minoan fisherman with his catch of mackerel or tuna - this fresco was found on the island of Thera

  
The writings from Crete during this period are in a language which we have not yet deciphered called Linear A. Although we do not have surviving Minoan literature, the beautiful frescoes that the Minoans left behind them reveal a sensitive culture, dependent on the sea, and alive to human beauty and the beauty of the world around them.
