There are sealings (the impressions of seals) showing skirts hung up in what are probably temples, and people carrying skirts, and skirts in a scenario with bull's heads, which might suggest a sacrificial scenario. You know, those big flouncy Minoan skirts like the Snake Goddesses wear. Also, recall the peplos of Athena woven annually by the Arrephoroi was a definate fact. I'm pretty enthralled by the idea of textile offerings to temples.Caroline Tullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295336008587199702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188095128035151601.post-90358866413463529372008-07-24T08:12:00.000-07:002008-07-24T08:12:00.000-07:00Fantastic!
