Summary
Exotic animals arrived on Crete during the Bronze Age as depictions and then, in the case of some animals such as cats and deer, became a bodily presence on Crete. This chapter examines how these unfamiliar bodies were absorbed into the palatial collective and were used to demonstrate overseas connections.
