Crete es un pueblo en el condado de Will, Illinois, Estados Unidos. Es un lejano suburbio sur de Chicago, a 30 miles del Loop y a solo 6 miles de la frontera con Indiana. La población era de 8,465 en el censo de 2020. Originalmente llamado Wood's Corner, fue fundado en 1836 por vermonenses Dyantha Wood, Willard Wood y Gary Neal.
“The Cretans had as leader , famed for his spear, even they that held Cnosus and Gortys, famed for its walls, Lyctus and Miletus and Lycastus, white with chalk, and Phaestus and Rhytium, well-peopled cities; and all they beside that dwelt in Crete of the hundred cities.”
“'Tis love of thee hath brought me to make so far a sea-course in a bull's likeness; and ere 'tis long thou shalt be in Crete, that was my nurse when I was with her; and there shall thy wedding be, whereof shall spring famous children who shall all be kings among them that are in the earth.”
“O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get?”
