Linear B Show & Tell # 1: Temple & Zeus by Rita Roberts (Click to ENLARGE):We all remember how much fun it was to learn new words when we were kids. Yes, with “Show & Tell”. So Rita Roberts, my co-conspirator and I, decided we would do the same for all of us, start a “Show & Tell” show right here on Linear B, Knossos & Mycenae, for those of us who really don't have the spare time to learn all of the Linear B syllabary, but who would like to at least recognize by sight some of the significant vocabulary in Mycenaean Linear B. So have fun, and feel free to download any of the “Show & Tell” posts that particularly fascinate you. This is the first of many posts Rita will be contributing to our blog, so let's all welcome her aboard. Richard
Linear B Show & Tell # 1: Temple & Zeus by Rita Roberts
Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.
Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
