Explore the Minoans attack on the island of Sicania and the head of the rebel’s headquarters known as the legendary Battle of Camicus, for control of the island that today is modern-day Sicily.

Homer called the Minoans the Phaeacian’s they controlled the ancient seas and are mentioned in the “Odyssey” as being a legendary and mysterious people.

Minoan culture reached the height of its power from around 2000 to 1600 B.C.

Homer is believed to have lived between 1200 and 750 B.C. so it would appear the original name of the Minoan seafaring people could well have been the Phaeacian’s a name they called themselves in their own tongue.

Being masters of navigation ship building and the ancient seas, they had powerful rivals for control of the lucrative sea trade routes and this led to conflicts on the high seas and on land when diplomacy failed.

Sea battles between the rising powerful fleets looking to gain control over the sea trade routes that connected the Eastern and Western Mediterranean world.

This saw the island of Sicania geographically become a vital powerbase from which if controlled by alliance or force would provide a secure powerbase to strike out and control the ancient worlds sea trade routes and the wealth that the resources and finished goods shipped and safely delivered to the ancient worlds markets and gateway harbours upon the fleets controlling the high seas.

With conflicts at sea and on the island itself leading to the final showdown in the capital of Camicus that was fought by the rebels under Kokalous and Thesanis and the Phaeacians’ led by Aeacus, Rhadys and the Sun God Paiawon.
