The Dreamer of Malta - 4000 BC
The Dreamer is lying on her side on a low couch, her right forearm underneath her head, the other draped across her breast. She is ample-hipped and topless, and dressed in a full-length, bell-shaped skirt.
She appears to be asleep, almost visibly dreaming, and it is possible that the figure was part of a ceremony of dream incubation.

Venus of Willendorf - 30,000 BC

Minoan Snake Goddess holding Snakes
This representation of the Minoan Snake Goddesses is seen holding snakes in her hands and was a votive offering and not a cult figure. Therefore, she probably represents a Priestess who may have been a princess of the palace.

Bronze Cretan Bull
In the 2nd century BC, the art of bull leaping or dancing was developed in Minoan Crete and was performed by both men and women. The athlete would run toward a charging bull, grab its horns, and when tossed into the air, would execute various aerial movements, land on the bull's back, and dismount with a flip. Bull leaping was not fatal for the bull, but it could conceivably have been so for the athletes!
