The combination of snake and female constitutes a unique "snake-wielding goddess style". The statue of snake-wielding goddess of Crete civilization is not only the symbol of Minoan women, but also the presentation of the matriarchal clan reproduction, female class power and goddess worship beliefs of Crete civilization, which reflects the full awakening of Minoan women's consciousness and is an important microcosm of the splendid Minoan matriarchal clan culture.
