grbs-9541	Eisner, Robert	The Temple at Ayia Irini: Mythology and Archaeology	1972	11	.pdf	application/pdf	4572	224	74	Though the town had been walled in by the early part of the Middle Bronze Age, a new and larger wall was built in MM III, and Caskey links this with increased Minoan connections at the time of the Minoan thalassocracy.22 Since we find some mainland pottery on Keos, as well as Minoan pottery, we can speculate that this new wall was designed to strengthen a Kean alliance with Crete while protecting Keos from the growing power of Mycenae. The literary tradition about Keos preserves an unusually vivid re­ collection of Minoan times.2o Pindar in Paean 4, for the Keans to sing at Delos, and commissioned from him probably because Bacchylides was then in exile,21 tells the story of King Euxantios of Keos, who we know was the son of Minos and Dexithea (lines 32-53).	cache/grbs-9541.pdf	txt/grbs-9541.txt
