A symposium by three scholars in review of Documents in Mycenaean Greek by Michael Ventris and John Chadwick
The decipherment by the late Michael Ventris of the Linear B script on the tablets from Knossos, Pylos, and Mycenae was not only a notable decoding: such translation of the documents as is possible has illuminated important and hitherto obscure aspects of the history, social organisation, and literature of the early Aegean world. These are respectively discussed by Sinclair Hood; Moses I. Finley; and Denys Page.
