Ugarit and Minoan Crete

Ugarit and Minoan Crete: The Bearing of Their Texts on the Origins of Western Culture by Cyrus H. Gordon, published by Norton in 1967.

Gordon compares Ugaritic texts from the excavations at Ugarit with evidence relating to Minoan Crete, exploring cultural and linguistic links between Greece, Ugarit and Israel around and after 1500 BCE. The book centres on annotated poetic translations of Ugaritic works and considers Ugaritic language and literature alongside Minoan and Mycenaean civilisation, Phoenician influence and cultural exchange in the eastern Mediterranean.
