The carefree lifestyle of Tassos and the young men of Thera is brought to an abrupt end by the arrival of a messenger bearing devastating news.The ring he wears demands absolute obedience but his message provokes an astonishing response, one that launches them on a clandestine mission to Minoan Crete.In Crete they find an island troubled by severe seismic activity and civil unrest where the messenger's token of authority has a history that threatens their mission before it has even begun but why at a time of grave crisis are those in power so determined to acquire a seemingly harmless bauble? In search of the truth they inevitably attract allies who are also seeking answers.When a horrifying discovery draws them to the legendary city of Knossos they quickly discover that nothing is what it seems. Predictably a terrifying increase in seismic activity leads the people to demand that men of substance account for their inability to contain the escalating phenomenon but where are they?The answers lie deep within the labyrinthine corridors of Minos' awesome palace, where Tassos, his friends and the three women in his life encounter a hostile and violent culture. Their attempts to challenge an ethos where narcotic induced rituals are used to invoke the dark chthonic images of priestly power however, have devastating consequences.Only when the powerful forces of nature consolidate in the cataclysmic eruption of Thera's sacred mountain do they finally come to appreciate the Ring's sublime message. Then it is almost too late: they are caught up in an event that is set to carry them on a journey their worst nightmares could never have envisaged.

The art and iconography of the Minoan civilisation of Bronze Age Crete is rightly described as having a refreshing vitality with a fortunate combination of stylisation and spontaneity in which the artist is able to transform conventional imagery into a personal expression. The dynamism, torsion and naturalism evident in Minoan art stands in stark contrast to the hieratic rigidity of other ancient civilisations, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the iconography of the Minoan Epiphany, a set of mainly glyptic (rings, seals, and seal impression) images which appear to depict religious celebrants experiencing direct and seemingly ecstatic encounters with deities. This collection of essays explores this central aspect of Minoan religion, taking a strongly archaeological focus to allow the artefacts to speak for themselves, and moving from traditional ‘representational’ interpretations into ‘embodied’ perspectives in which the ecstatic capabilities of the human body throw new light on Aegean Bronze Age ritual practices. Such ideas challenge rather passive assumptions modern Western observers hold about the nature of religious feelings and experiences, in particular the depictions of altered states of consciousness in ancient art, and the visionary potential of dance gestures. Speculative asides on the potential for a Minoan origin for Classical Greek humanism, and hints in the imagery on ancient Cretan conceptions of the cosmos, are set against sound archaeological theories to explain this lively and dynamic corpus of images. Beautifully illustrated with images and sketches of the relevant artefacts, this wide-ranging volume will stimulate audiences with archaeological, prehistorical and spiritual interests, as well as historians of religion and art. ‘The Minoan Epiphany’ also represents an influential antecendent to the Visionary Humanist philosophy which forms the majority of Bruce’s current independent research interests.
