Editor's Notes
- The Warrior Vase. This detail from a large krater, discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in the Mycenae acropolis, depicts Mycenaean warriors in full armor ready to depart for battle. They wear helmets, cuirasses, greaves, and shields, with sacks of supplies hanging from their spears. Credit: Prisma/UIG/Getty Images
- This is an example of the earlier Linear A script, used to write the non-Greek language of the Minoans. Because evidence of the script has appeared only on the island of Crete, scholars believe that the Minoan palace elites were the sole users of the script (probably for keeping records). This example came from the small palace site at Hagia Triada. Source: M. Ventris and J. Chadwick, Documents in Mycenaean Greek, 2nd ed. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1973), doc. 116.

- This is a typical Linear B document inscribed on clay with linear marks representing syllables and signs. The clay tablet was stored in a palace archive. This tablet came from the excavated Mycenaean palace at Pylos, on the mainland of Greece. Credit: DEA/G. DAGLI ORTI/De Agostini/Getty Images
