Technically, it wouldn’t have been “Greek” anything. From 3200–2000 BC, the latest time in which Sodom was destroyed, on some of the Greek islands was the Cycladic culture, overlapping and subsumed by the Minoan civilization from 2000 BC forward. Then the Myceneans (1900–1100 BC) gradually absorbed the Minoans. Only after that did Greece, as such, exist, in a dark ages that only properly ended with the first Olympic Games in 776 BC.

I disagree. The Minoans were in full bloom and Crete is thought to have been destroyed around the same time as Sodom.

[Verginius Rufus]

The Minoans were not Greek--at least they did not speak an early form of Greek (as the Mycenaeans did). I'm not aware of any evidence that the Minoans practiced pederasty.

The chronology and location are both disputed. I had always seen Sodom placed near the southern end of the Dead Sea--that it could have been NE of the northern end of the Dead Sea is news to me.

Jerome had Abraham around 2000 B.C., but that could be too high. Were the Israelites in Egypt for 400 years or for 4 generations? Moses is said to be a great-grandson of Levi, one of the sons of Jacob (I Chron. 6.1-3).
