natural phenomenon, from childbirth
to earthquakes, to stormy seas,
to mountain peaks.
These gods weren't all seen as benign
and merciful, but as temperamental
and sometimes vindictive.
Offerings were made by those
seeking favour from the gods.
And it was through ritual ceremonies
that the priesthood sought
clarity on the gods' desires.
But in 1620 BC,
the Minoans' complex
belief system was
about to be blown apart by geological
forces beyond their understanding.
It's OK, Pinaruti.
One of the first signs that the
volcano was stirring would have been
hydrothermal explosions triggered
by superheated ground water.
You saw something.
What was it?
I don't know. I don't understand.
Try.
It was Yishharu.
He was in danger.
What kind of danger?
The sacrificial axe
was dripping in blood.
His blood.
Why would I see something like that?
Sometimes our visions
don't come from the gods,
but from our own fears.
And perhaps you're
unsure of your husband.
Come.
We have a celebration
to prepare for.
We're here to welcome
my son's new wife, Pinaruti.
She's the daughter of my loyal
business companion, Piteri.
She is a Cretan,
but let's not hold that against her.
Ah,
good of you to join us, Yishharu.
Welcome.
Now, I've seen many
things in this world.
Dolphins in the Straits of Hazim.
I've chased dolphins
across the Straits of Hazim.
I've loaded my ships
with treasures from Egypt.
I've fought
pirates off the shores of Elias.
But none of it compares
to the magnificence of
this beautiful island.
But none of it, none it compares
to the magnificence of this island.
An island I like to believe I've
played a small part in making great.
Sorry I was late.
Without Cretan middlemen...
Did you make your offering?
Something happened at the sanctuary.
this fountain of boiling water.
I don't know where it came from.
It was as if the whole island was...
Was being torn apart.
At the bull leaping,
you said that the ground shook.
You should tell your father.
I had hoped that my only son
would follow in my wake
and take to the seas.
Until now he's
put his blood and sweat into bulls,
and temple priestesses.
Here's hoping that his wife
can make a better man of him.
He's drunk, let's go.
We can't. This is in our honour.
- You think this is for us?
My advice
to anyone who marries is this.
Enjoy every day,
because you never know when the gods
will decide to take away what
is most precious to you.
They've blessed you, Rusa.
You tell us that they want
us to do this, do that.
We do it because you say so.
- This is intolerable.
