Minotaur: A creature with the head and tail of a bull on the body of a man. It was locked into a giant labyrinth by King Minos of Crete. Every year for nine years, seven youths and maidens were locked into the labyrinth as well, for the beast to feed on. Until, the hero Theseus, after volunteering as one of the victims, killed the sleeping Minotaur by beating it to death.
Linear A script is a kind of writing system, that Minoan culture used.
Mycenae is a city on top of a hill surrounded by a fortified castle [Acropolis]. Attached here below you can see how it is currently the city.
It starts with a short 'a' sound... A-ree-add-nee
Theseus used a ball of thread/string to find his way out. This was given to him by the princess Ariadne.

One major difference was that the Minoan civ was very peaceful.It achieve his power through trade. The mycenean civ was more aggressive becoming the most powerful civ of his time through war (and of course trade).

It is difficult to known precise details about the government ruling over the ancient Mycenaean civilization as records from that period are fractured. It seems that city-states in the area were ruled by a king with other land-owners forming his court.

Archaeologists believe that a huge volcanic eruption on the island of Thera, possibly with an accompanying earthquake and tsunami, caused devastation in Crete. This could have reduced the prosperity of the Minoans, as well as weakening their ability to defend themselves, as they were either invaded or otherwise taken under the influence of Mycenaeans from Greece in the late 15th century BC.
They were under threat from new peoples moving in - the Sea Peoples and the Dorian Greeks, and from disputes between themselves.
It was also the standard approach to establishing control of an area - a nomadic tribe moved in, it seized land to settle on, it established a fort as a defencive refuge when under threat to which the population retired until the threat subsided.
