I have been fascinated by the costumes worn by ancient Minoans since I was a schoolboy. In middle school I gave a presentation about Ancient Greece that was illustrated by a filmstrip (remember those?) that included an image of the famous "Snake Goddess" statuette.

I understand that in Versailles, noble women used to wear gowns with extreme decolletage, but they had nothing on the Minoan women, as this 2018 exhibition from Melbourne's Hellenic Museum showed.
