THE INFURIATINGLY IMPRECISE ORTHOGRAPHY OF LINEAR B
#9
Danno
Well actually if we take the evolution of Greek language it goes like
[pre]
Proto-European
| |
(Greek) Pelasgic Minoic
| | \\
(Greek) Aeolic Achaic --- Ionic
\\ /
(Greek) Doric
[/pre]
The "official" version of pronouciation came to be the Attic version of the Ionic dialect because Alexnadrine scholars said so.
Anything not regonized like that becomes suspect if does not relate obvoisly to the "mutilated" version the had the nerve to name "Helliniki Koini". Just to make our lives difficult.
Kind regards

PS. the diagram does not look as I intented so feel free to disregard its apearence
David yes most myths "hide" history.
Actually MYTHIMI = tell a tale - not necessarily untrue.
The "fairy tail" is called PARAMYTHOS (mod. Greek: paramythi)
Actually the "real" events of the 7 agiaist Thebes started coming to light with the latest geological stdy of Beotia and the state of the ancient lake Kopais (not existing now). 14th century B.C was quite a time!

Kind regards
