More commonly knows as boustrophedon (modern Greek is loose with it's labials). It's a way the text is written. Like Giannis said, instead of being linear, as in left to right or right to left, it reads in a way that is like how an ox eats on the pasture.

This Wikipedia article has some nice examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon
