Abstract
Economic ties between Crete and Thebes based on personal dynastic relations have been hypothesized by a number of scholars. While most of the evidence has been derived from Linear B documents, we can now draw also upon newly-published evidence from transport stirrup jars. The overall pattern of evidence is consistent with the thesis of elite ties between Crete and Thebes, perhaps with Argolid sites acting as intermediaries.
