The emergence of various schools is the most prominent feature of the Western mythological research in the 20th century, which helps to lead the disciplinary integration and construct a new academic paradigm. In the research of civilization origins, Nanno Marinatos＇ view that there is a symbiotic interaction between the Minoan civilization and the Mediterranean civilization （given in his book, Minoan Kingship and the Solar Goddess： A Near Eastern Koine）, solves in some way the long debates on the origin of the Greek civilization.
