Men's Names, Part Deux
Even though Barbara Olsen's Women in Mycenaean Greece is about how women lived, worked, and were treated in the palace economies of Late Bronze Age Pylos and Knossos, men are nevertheless important to the discussion, as slaves, supervisors, slave owners, and major land/commodity holders.
Here are some more of the real-life men who lived in Mycenaean Pylos and Knossos all those centuries ago.
Alkeus
Mologuros
Megistokritos
Lugros
Mestianor
Westreus: a priest at Sphiagnes, the Pylian cult center at which the priestess Eritha also worked.
Tetreus
Antaos
Areios
Komawens
Eumedes
Kresteus
Keratios
Eurwotas
Theseus
Pikreus
Eriklewes
Halikeus
And finally, a Collector/Overseer, a major figure in the tablets who possessed very rich holdings of sheep, cloth, male and female slaves, and other goods:
Werwesios
As with the women's names, those with Greek endings were those most able to be "normalized." There are a number of men with Minoan names on the Knossos tablets, like the important figure a-no-qo-ta, whose actual names we don't yet know.
