摘要：

Since the discovery of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations of Crete and the Greek understanding has been gained of their material culture and social structures. Nevertheless, because of the absence of textual pictorial evidence of medicine of the kind which exists in the contemporary societies of Egypt and the Near East, lithe work has been produced on the subject of disease and the practice of medicine in the period. However, new pathological evidence throws much light on this hitherto largely unknown aspect of their civilization.
