El presente artículo aborda el estudio de la creación y el desarrollo de la Sección de Estudios clásicos del CEH a partir del examen de documentación inédita custodiada tanto en la Fundación Ramón Menéndez Pidal como en el archivo de la JAE. El trabajo pone de manifiesto la importancia de las figuras de Pidal y Giuliano Bonfante para sacar adelante...
El propósito de este trabajo es ofrecer argumentos a favor de la interpretación de la palabra micénica ḳị-wo-na-de como ‘a la columna’. Para ello el trabajo se centra en tres aspectos distintos: 1) el estudio de los textos micénicos; 2) el análisis de los testimonios iconográficos de los periodos minoico y micénico y 3) la revisión de algunos texto...
The present work reassesses the extant evidence of the Mycenaean word sa-pi-de and offers a more plausible interpretation of its possible meaning. To this effect, a twofold analysis will examine both the potential etymological reconstruction of this word and the contexts within the term appears.
The meaning of the Mycenaean word o-pi-ke re -mi-ni-ja is reexamined, taking into account the contexts in which it occurs and with reference to the previous relevant literature. On the basis of the archaeological evidence and of the linguistic data provided by a number of words and glosses in the first-millennium Greek, it is argued that this word...
This paper offers a systematic study of the Mycenaean adjectives in ‐te‐ri‐jo / ‐ tḗrios . Its purpose is twofold: first, to examine whether the suffix ‐ tḗrios was already fossilized in the Mycenaean period (‐ tḗrios vs . ‐ tḗr + ios ); second, to define the semantic values associated with this suffix in the same period. Particular attention will...
This paper aims to offer a new interpretation of the Mycenaean word ka-ra-wi-ja *γρᾱ́ϝια ‘old woman’, which appears in some Mycenaean texts of the series Fq from Thebes and Fu from Mycenae. Their content points to the context of distribution of food probably related to the celebration of a ritual. Thus far, it has been interpreted as a male or fema...
The aim of the present paper is to examine the Mycenaean word pa-ra-ku-ja. It is generally accepted the relationship between this word and the Semitic root *brq, ʻto shineʼ. The author suggests an etymological relationship with the Semitic root *wrq, ʻto be green (or yellow)ʼ. This connection is especially based on a comparison with some fabrics fr...
The aim of this paper is to analyze the Mycenaean term ku-wa-no-wo-ko-i (Dat. pl.
*κυϝανοϝοργοῖhι), which appears in the Mycenae Oi series. Although the term is morphologically clear, our objectives are to defend the meaning ‘glass workers’. On the one hand, to link up the term with the archaeological discoveries of vitreous objects discovered near...
Reseña de:Dioscórides, El libro de los venenos, ed. Antonio Guzmán Guerra (colección “El hilo de lana”) Madrid, Mármara Ediciones, ISBN: 978-84-120080-4-3, 197 pp.
The etymology of σμάραγδος is traditionally related to the Semitic root *brq, ʻto shineʼ. However, this article sets out the idea that this etymology comes from a Semitic word related to the root *wrq, ʻto be greenʼ, which is, in turn, related to myc. pa-ra-ku-we and its derivatives. This new etymology is based on the analysis of the syllabogram *5...
Chadwick formulated the hypothesis that the po-re-na were victims of human sacrifices, but this conjecture was rejected for some scholars. In this paper their possible functions are examined. It is proposed that the po-re-na were persons who carried gifts and assisted the priest at sacrifices. Possibly they wore a linen robe, maybe depicted by the...

The hyperboreans were people who lived somewhere in the North. They used to spend their time dancing, listening to music and enjoying their spare moments. They only had to make sure Apollo recieved the offerings they gave him, which they took to Delos Island. As Apollo moved to the north, where the hyperboreans lived, he became the most important g...
