The Phaistos Disc is one of the most studied documents of the Minoan civilization,
enticing scholars and simple enthusiasts with the mysterious aura that envelops it
and with its singularity among Minoan scriptures. It has entered the collective imagination,
both at academic and popular levels. Representations of the Disc can be found abundantly
in popular culture, from appearances in Mickey Mouse comics to a prop amidst the curios
on the tables of a television magician.00It is this very overexposure that risks undermining
the understanding of an object that is, first and foremost, an archaeological artefact
found in a chronological and cultural context. Much has been said and much and has
been written about the Disc. Collet brings a new approach. It?s not a deciphering
but an interpretation, a depiction of the Minoan Weltanschauung through the symbols
on the Disc and their connections with reality. This begins with the spiral-shaped
construction of the inscription and its possible temporal allusions, and moves on
to a structuralist view of use of the signs, and in which the repetitions take on
almost ritual significance. Hence it is a pictorial interpretation rather than syllabic,
whereby the pictograph is not intended as a rigid reproduction of logical discourse,
but rather a path
