Title | Candia / Corphu |
Two views on one sheet, above the town of Candia (now Iraklio) on the Greek island of Crete and below the island and town of Corfu with its old castle. The island of Creta is first described in texts from the Syrian city of Mari in the 18th century BC. BC called Kaptara, which are later repeated in Neoassyrian records and in the Bible (Caphtor). It was also known as Keftiu in ancient Egypt, strongly suggesting that a shape similar to both was the Minoan name for the island. | |
