Overview
Linear B is a syllabic script that was used for writing in Mycenaean Greek, the earliest attested form of the Greek language and at the same time the first organized writing in Europe. The script predates the Greek alphabet by several centuries, the earliest known examples dating to around 1700-1300 BC.
It is adapted from the earlier Linear A, Linear B, found mainly in the palace archives at Knossos, Kydonia, Pylos, Thebes and Mycenae, disappeared with the fall of Mycenaean civilization during the Late Bronze Age collapse

What To Expect
In the outdoor workshop we created exclusively for you, we will learn to write our name in linear B writing on clay from the Cretan land as our ancestors did 4000 years ago.
The workshop lasts for half an hour and upon finishing it, you will have the inscription you wrote as a souvenir.
Along with this you also provide a card with the basic Linear B symbols so that you can translate and write in Linear B yourself.
