Minoan seal stone, "The Master's Seal", and patron deity 17th-15th C. BCE

"Now Minos, it is said, went to Sicania, which is now called Sicily, in search for Daedalus, and perished there by a violent death. Presently all the Cretans except the men of Polichne and Praesus were bidden by a God to go with a great host to Sicania. Here they besieged the town of Camicus, where in my day the men of Acragas dwelt, for five years."

-Herodotus, The Histories: Book 7, Chapter 170.1

 

"Clay sealing from Kasteli, near Chania, with a representation of a Minoan city and its patron deity. Dated to the second half of the 15th century B.C.". Current location: Hania Archaeological Museum.

The Harvard link below uses the dates 1600-1450 BCE and the author hypothesizes the male figure may depict Herakles.
