This article deals with nature in the Aegean world. Indeed, the plant world is very present in the representations of cultic scenes of the Minoan, Cycladic and Mycenaean worlds, whether in the form of floral offerings, by the presence of the tree or by the image of landscapes. It also appears that, due to the supports of this iconography, gold seal rings, frescoes of palaces or villas, etc., the cults and rituals represented mainly concern the elite of Aegean societies of the Bronze Age, and in particular its female component.
Keywords: Religion, Frescoes, Seals, Minoan civilization, Crete, Thera
