Pelasgian Culture encompassed bullfighting, the theatre, gladiator games, and ancestor worship. The Roman "imagines" or death masks were Pelasgian. The Olympic games also derive from a Pelasgian source. They were originally funerary, and bloodthirsty, like the Roman games.

The Omphalos of Apollo was originally the "altar" of Minona, the fertility goddess and witch. The name Minoa, associated with trading posts found on Crete and elsewhere, is from Minona, with loss of the N. Dionysus Zagreus was a Pelasgian god, as was Pan. The double flute was also Pelasgian, and the kettle drum..
