In this episode of Empire Builders, we explore the great historic sites of the Minoan civilisation on Crete, Mycenae in the Peloponnese, and the emerging Greek city states such as Corinth. The Minoans built elaborate city palaces that also served as vast community centers and residences for their rulers. Like the Minoans, the Mycenaeans, who succeeded them, were great seafarers and traders. They are also noted for their elaborate hilltop fortresses built of giant boulders. We also travel to Greek settlements established in the Mediterranean, at places such as Paestum in southern Italy and Selinunte in Sicily.
