2 great photos of the tiny Linear B tablets at the Heraklion Museum, taken by my colleague and fellow Linear B researcher, Rita Roberts, November 2014. Click on each photo to ENLARGE it:
And here is Rita herself, admiring all those great little tablets. I am green with envy, but at the same time delighted Rita has done this wonderful favour for us all.

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.

Hi Richard, I know the feeling ! Us poor pensioners are all paupers I think.
Well, in my case, it is MY fault. I have a large pension but I got myself really into debt.
That’s because you bought that lovely new car I bet ! Well why not we have to treat ourselves sometimes.
Guilty as charged!

A post about my visit to The Heraklion Museum in Crete where I saw for the first time some of the Linear B tablets which were discovered by Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos Palace. I was thrilled that I was able to read them myself. Thanks for reading.
I figured you would reblog, as if! ha ha!
As If !!

WOW ! Thank you Richard, You will have to go and see the tablets yourself when you next come to Crete. It was quite an experience, the mere fact that I could read some of them. Thanks to you and your method of teaching.

Yeah, I was wondering about that! It must have been quite a thrill! If you go back and read one or two of them to the admnistrators, tell them I am teaching you and that you and I are working together on the Supersyllabogram project, That should impress them! Hint, hint!

I am a pauper for the foreseeable future, and the Canadian dollar is down below 90 cents for the foreseeable future, so….
