Stylianos Alexiou’s translation of Shakespeare’s battle cry against time at the start of Sonnet 16 makes an apposite, if metaphorical, introduction to an essay around his pioneering paper (1979,1980,2002) on war, defence and the improbability – the “myth”, to use his word – of Minoan peace. His paper is still a firm landmark in historical studies of Crete in the Bronze Age.
