Vase with Minoan Linear A inscription on it (undecipherable):

Vase with Minoan Linear A inscripton below the rin

There is simply insufficient text in the Minoan Linear A inscription just below the rim of this vase for me to be able to decipher it.

      Indeed they are!

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.
