More info
From Knossos to Santorini, in all parts of the known Minoan civilization and across the Aegean sea, art-work featuring dolphins is considered as some of the most characteristic of Minoan culture. The peace-loving Minoans considered the dolphin as a highly sacred animal and frequently depicted the playful interaction between man and this mammal.
