The Minoans were, in fact, the very first entrepreneurs. They basically discovered and adapted and developed seamanship skills faster than anyone, as they originated on the island of Crete, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Their most revered accomplishments were their most obvious; they dominated all trade in the Mediterranean area. They had access to a giant variety of other cultures, and therefore other resources. Those resources, while they may have been abundant in some areas, were in severe demand in other areas. When the Minoans figured this out, they would stock up on that particular resource for a dirt cheap price, then sail on to an area where that was in high demand and rip off the merchants over there. The Minoans, in a sense, were like Switzerland was in World War II; They traded weapons and supplies to countries at war, while keeping the warring nations at bay with neutrality. They traded swords, riches, and more importantly, cultures, affecting many other civilizations' developments.
