King Minos Water Collection System
Palace of King Minos, Knossos c. 1500 B.C.

Of all the ancients the Minoans on Crete enjoyed the most advanced bathing facilities. ln King Minos’s palace at Knossos, terra-cotta pipes lashed together with thongs through eyelets conducted running water indoors to a lavish assortment of baths, sinks, and even flush toilets. They were convenient, beautiful, and for their day, the most hygienic bathing arrangements in the ancient world. Their nearby neighbors, the Greeks, were not known for devoting so much time or trouble to bathing. Their sparsely furnished homes did not even include bathrooms. Having a marketplace culture, where front doors opened outward, the Greeks often limited their bathing to quick, cold showers following athletic and military events. Greek civilization incorporated bathing into various mythological accounts. Homer, for example, describes mythological warriors bathing in warm water in order to regain strength and continue the fight.
