Linear A News 🏺 | We might finally have some Linear A news! Researcher Michael Schümann has a proposed translation that might reveal the true origins of Dionysus and Demeter. That being said, this still has not been peer reviewed, and should be treated as a hypothesis. But, I will certainly keep my eyes on this and update when (or if) there is more news.
