From Gabii and Gordion to Eretria and Methone: the Rise of the Greek Alphabet

Panhellenes at Methone

The three longest inscriptions from Methone, which all seem to be in Eretrian script, are an important testimony to the diffusion of literacy across the Mediterranean world. They help us to reconstruct the prehistory of the Greek alphabet, which according to internal evidence went through three phases, from the simplest 'Cretan' script to Euboean, Roman and ultimately Ionian. Yet the earliest alphabetic inscriptions seem to come from Gabii in Latium and Gordion in Phrygia, a fact which contradicts the internal evidence that Greeks adapted the Phoenician script. Consistency returns only if one accepts a recent proposal to raise the chronology of the Middle and Late Geometric periods. The finds from Methone confirm that Euboean script was already well adapted to the recording of complex texts such as epic poetry. * The discovery of numerous inscriptions in a sealed archaeological deposit at Methone in Pieria that is securely dated to the last decades of the eighth century BCE is no less a cause for celebration than their rapid and careful publication in a full and well illustrated edition. This new and very unexpected material sheds light on the diffusion of Euboean writing, on the different stages in the evolution of the Hellenic alphabet, and on when Greek poetry began to be written down. Inscriptions from 730 BCE or earlier are now known from a number of coastal sites in the central and eastern Mediterranean, ranging from Pithekoussai on Ischia off the west coast of Italy all the way to Methone in Macedonia. Even earlier inscriptions in varieties of the earliest true alphabet come from Lefkandi and Eretria in Euboea, dating by the traditional chronology to 775-750 BCE, and from two places just beyond the fringes of the Greek-speaking world, Gordion in Phrygia and Gabii near Rome, where there is an inscription dated according to that chronology to ca. 770. However, as we shall see, the ab-_____ * A version of this article appeared in BICS 58 (2015) 1-32.

Grapholinguistics and Its Applications

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the analysis of written language, the distribution of the punctuation marks dot, exclamation mark, and question mark is usually explained with refer ence to the concept of sentence. For this reason, these characters are referred to in German linguistics as 'Satzschlusszeichen' ('sentence closing marks'). However, if the term sentence is understood as in syntax, e.g., as a phrase with a finite verb as its head, it turns out that (e.g., in English) in some cases the marks in question ac tually follow what can be considered a sentence (Where are you now?), but in many other cases they do not. In particular, the marks may follow less than a sentence (Here!) or more than a sentence (I am here and you are there.) or they may be inter spersed in a sentence (Stop! Being! Stupid!). In order to arrive at a proper analysis of such data, it is necessary to distinguish between two different structural concepts, the sentence as a strictly syntactic notion on the one hand and another concept be longing to the field of grapholinguistics on the other hand. There are numerous suggestions how to conceive this other concept. In the approach to be presented, it is termed written utterance and is considered to be what a writer understands as a coherent thought. It is important that the concepts of sentence and written utter ance are completely independent of each other, since they belong to different areas of linguistics. A grapholinguistic analysis has to explain the wellformedness con ditions of written utterances. In the grapholinguistic model, which serves as the background for the following analysis, the language system is considered as part of the writing system, so that in the analysis of written forms all concepts established for the analysis of the language system can be used. This model provides a specific answer to the pertinent question of the relationship between written language and spoken language. 1. On the Term Grapholinguistics Grapholinguistics is a branch of linguistics that has developed into an independent field of research over the last 50 years. 1 The term grapholin
