Do you know that the earliest known Greek is Linear
B (You can see the scripts in this site)? Despite such a non-descriptive
name, Linear B has proved to be the oldest surviving record of the Greek dialect
known as Mycenaean, named after the great site of Mycenae where the legendary
Agamemnon ruled. The script's usage spanned the time period between approximately
1500 BCE and 1200 BCE , and geographically covered the island of Crete, as
well as the southern part of the Greek Mainland. (Another
site with a logograms - pictorial scripts) But Linear B as Greek is
challenged by other scholars. If you want to use Linear B, try this font
(Windows,
Macintosh).

good computer bible, with as many commentaries, translations, and information
as possible for as cheap a price as possible.
Although it is possible to order The Online Bible on CD-ROM, this is not necessary.

freely distributable and downloadable from the internet.
