Type: article
Abstract: The article “narrates” the probable discovery of a plant endemic to the island of Crete, Origanum dictamnus, in the Hellenistic-Roman district of Agrigento: an atypical place, which however becomes useful to advance a research with aesthetic characteristics, and to remember some information on the botanical knowledge of the Minoans and their presence in Sicily. Through this plant, whose identification is not certain, and despite the fact that it is impossible to reconstruct its itinerary, customs, agricultural knowledge, mythical, archaeological and geographical events of the ancient Cretans will be exposed, finally focusing on the curiosities of Origanum dictamnus and its medical properties.
