You could say that architecture is age old, whether the
design is a rock-enclosed cave or an elaborate, complex palace. So I guess the question is how did
architecture change as a result of a literate society? This question can be
answered through the tradition of ancient Crete and mainland Greece. To
thoroughly study this, I will include the architecture of the Minoans and
Mycenaeans during the Helladic Age and then the Ionian and Classic Greek
cultures of the Hellenic Age.
