Eleutheia was the central figure and solar goddess of the religion of the island of Crete's Minoan civilization during the Bronze Age Modern from 3000 BCE to about 1100 BCE, in the Aegean Sea. This great sea trading culture flourished on the island of Crete, even after a devastating earthquake in 1700 BC, but eventually collapsed reportedly due to a massive volcanic eruption, although this is much debated. Their mysterious linear script (Linear A) has never been fully decrypted, and may shed more light on Minoan society in the future. To the Minoans, the snake represented an underworld spirit of domestic and friendly significance and many scholars regard Eleutheia as one of the aspects of the Great Mother. However, there is increasing evidence that her earlier attributes as presented by early archeologists and scholars were incorrect and based on inaccurate restorations of the statues, and now a new picture of the goddess and the society that venerated her is emerging. Join us for this fascinating lecture by Dr. Rietveld on this entrancing goddess and discover her true story.This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw" title="https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903</a> Dr. James Rietveld is a professor at CSU, Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology, Religion with a PHD from Claremont School of Religion, is author of two books, and can be seen on History channel's "Crazy Rich Ancients."#history #historybuff #lovehistory #snakegoddess #historytalk #historylecture #onlinetalk #onlinetalks #onlinelecture #salonlecture #salonlectures #drjamesrietveld #ipsofacto #ipsofactostore #ipsofactofullerton #historytalks #minoan #goddess #eleutheia
