Hermes a-re-ja (PY Tn 316): a new interpretation

José Marcos Macedo Kadmos 55.1-2 (2017): 67-82

A long-standing consensus among Mycenaean scholars is that a-re-ja, an epithet of Hermes in the Pylos tablet Tn 316, must be somehow related to Ares, the war god. Hermes Areiās would be either a derivative in *-ās of Ares or, according to a recent suggestion, an abbreviated compound in the first member of which Ares would figure. The present paper argues for a different solution, taking a-re-ja (dat.) /aleii̯āi/ as an apposed noun epithet of the root *h2leu̯- ‘to ward off’.

Il geroglifico cretese: nuovi metodi di lettura (con una nuova proposta di interpretazione del segno 044 i)

Silvia Ferrara & Diego Cristiani Kadmos 55.1-2 (2017): 17–36

In base a recenti analisi dei sigilli in pietra iscritti nel sistema di scrittura geroglifico cretese, ancora indecifrato, si puo proporre una nuova ipotesi di interpretazione della funzione di alcuni segni. Alcuni elementi che erano stati considerati come simboli decorativi sono stati re-interpretati, invece, come elementi semantici del repertorio geroglifico cretese.

An Island between Two Worlds. The Archaeology of Euboea from Prehistoric to Byzantine Times. Proceedings of International Conference, Eretria, 12-14 July 2013 The island of Euboea has always acted as a bridge connecting mainland Greece to the wider Aegean and the Mediterranean world; its archaeological importance was an acknowledged but often understated fact. Euboea, a region with an identity crisis, at the same time considered an island but also a part of the mainland, due to its geographical and cultural proximity, has for millennia played an important role in events that shaped aspects of Greek antiquity.
