Mysteries of the Snake Goddess: Art, Desire, And The Forging Of History, by Kenneth Lapatin
This book delves into the questionable origins of the Boston Snake Goddess figurine. To provide background, it also deals with the long history of Minoan forgeries, and Sir Arthur Evans' track record of creating Minoan history and art from excavated artifacts. Good context for Bronze Age Crete and our view of what it was like.
