Cave Of Zeus
  • 1h
Ideo Andros or Arsenio is a cave on a plateau on Mount Ida (Psiloritis) in Crete, in which, according to Greek mythology, Zeus, hence the name "Cretan", was raised from his infancy. Its entrance was guarded by the Kurites, mythical figures, and every time the little Zeus cried, they struck their swords against the shields they held so that Saturn would not hear his cry. According to another version, the Curites danced a dance very intense and fast, which made their heavy armor rattle and covered the crying of the infant Zeus. Today this cave, also called "Speliara" or "Shepherd's Cave", is an archaeological site where excavations have been carried out since 1884, and objects from the Minoan era have been discovered, such as archaic figurines, flasks, bronze shields, etc. which are kept in the Heraklion Museum.
