El simposio "La religión micénica: conceptos, prácticas, objetos" pretende abordar el estudio de la religión micénica desde una perspectiva transversal. El subtítulo "conceptos, prácticas, objetos" pone de relieve la diversidad de enfoques con que los distintos ponentes se acercarán al estudio de la religión micénica: filología, historia, iconografía, arqueología.
La religión micénica se sitúa en el centro de interés de estudios sincrónicos y diacrónicos sobre la historia de la religión griega. Así, en el simposio se acometen, entre otros temas, el análisis de la influencia de la cultura minoica e indoeuropea en la micénica o la evaluación del impacto que la religión micénica pudo haber tenido en la religión griega del primer milenio a. C.

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 female anthroponym, a theonym or a nickname, but these hypotheses seem unlikely. It has also been suggested that this may be the designation of a professional group without providing a more concrete explanation. It is reasonable, however, that it is an appellation referring to one or more older women participating in a ritual.

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 must be rendered as *ὀπικελεμνίᾱ and that it referred to chairbacks consisting of vertical slats with one or more cross-pieces. The alternation between singular and plural forms of the word can be accounted for as a difference in the description of the ornamentation of the objects, and it can be arguably explained by the number of cross-pieces that made up the chairbacks.

The purpose of this article is twofold. First, I intend to review and evaluate some hypotheses regarding the identification and status of the payers who appear in PY Un 718, especially eke -ra 2-wo. Second, I will try to justify the reconstruction [a-ki-ti-]to for PY Er 880.4 based on a comparison with other attestations of the term in the Na series from Pylos. In my opinion, this is the most accurate reconstruction, even though the lacunae make any proposal subject to an ongoing discussion.

Resumen: El presente trabajo presenta un testimonio de época micénica en el que aparece una compensación económica por homicidio. Su importancia radica en que es el primer texto griego que hace referencia a una práctica similar. Suele pasar inadvertido en los trabajos sobre leyes de homicidio en el mundo griego, cuya referencia más antigua son los poemas homéricos. Palabras clave: Micénico, homicidio, compensación, justicia, Homero. Blood-money: ransom for a murder in Mycenean Greece Abstract: This paper deals with Mycenean evidence about the payment of ransom for a murder. The value of this testimony lies in the fact that this is the first Greek text which mentions this practice. It usually goes unnoticed in studies about homicide law in Ancient Greece, whose older references are based on the Homeric texts.

Los micénicos son los griegos del segundo milenio a.C. Su aparición en la historia puede fecharse en torno al 1600 a.C. y su desaparición en torno al 1180 a.C. Toman su nombre de la ciudad de Micenas, cuyos restos arqueológicos impresionaron a los historiadores y arqueólogos de finales del siglo xix. Su escritura, el llamado silabario Lineal B, fue descifrada en 1952 y, junto a la arqueología, constituye la base para adentrarse en el conocimiento de esta civilización que, durante unos cuatrocientos años, controló el mar Egeo y mantuvo contactos comerciales importantes con parte de la costa de Anatolia y de Italia y Sicilia.
Tras analizar las fuentes, esta obra realiza un recorrido, científico pero accesible, por los distintos aspectos de la sociedad micénica, tales como la organización social y cultural, la religión, la agricultura y la ganadería, la economía y la administración, la industria, el comercio y el
arte, con la intención de acercar el estudio de esta civilización a todas aquellas personas que, especialistas o no, estén interesadas en ahondar un poco más en el conocimiento sobre los primeros griegos de la historia.

Juan Piquero Rodríguez donne une analyse exhaustive du lexique mycénien dans l’état actuel de la recherche et établit une comparaison entre les termes mycéniens attestés et les expressions correspondantes au premier millénaire. Le but consiste à déterminer quel lexique s’est conservé et dans quelle mesure, et lequel a disparu. Son travail complète une carence dans les études de lexicographie grecque, puisque, en raison du caractère syllabique du système d’écriture de la langue mycénienne et les problèmes intrinsèques à son interprétation, le lexique mycénien conservé dans le grec alphabétique n’a pas été analysé avec suffisamment d’attention dans les dictionnaires généraux de grec. La lemmatisation alphabétique de cette étude répond au besoin de créer un instrument de travail facilitant la connaissance du lexique mycénien à travers le grec alphabétique et permettant l’accès à ce vocabulaire aux lecteurs qui n’ont pas la possibilité d’approfondir leurs recherches, en l’absence de travaux actualisés, systématiques et critiques sur la question.

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 *56, which may probably have a value as /ba/ or /mba/ in Linear A as well as in Linear B. The Mycenaean scribes note the syllabogram *56 also with the graphic variants pa and ma. This fluctuation also appears in the alphabetic Greek bases *μαρακ- and *βαρακ- which are related to colour green realities.

This paper deals with the history of the interpretation of the Mycenaean term ma-ka. This term was first interpreted as μᾶ Γᾶ by Ruijgh and other scholars departing from a doubtful-reading example from Cnossos (KN F 51 v. 2). Due to the discovery of the word ma-ka in the new Thebes
tablets, the editores principes confirmed this hypothesis. They support the claim of a feminine theonym and of a divine triad together with the terms ko-wa, *Κορϝα, «the Girl», and o-po-re-i, an epiclesis of Zeus Opōreus in connection with the fruitfulness. However, after an extensive research, it seems that all this interpretation must be rejected. New studies suggest that probably the term ma-ka is better related to a sort of barley (HORD) or to the purpose whereby it was
recorded.

RESUMEN: el presente artículo hace un recorrido diacrónico por las diversas lenguas y escrituras conocidas en Chipre en el segundo y primer milenio a.C. Además de presentar un análisis de los datos, se aborda la cuestión de la identidad y la tradición en la isla de Chipre en relación con la conservación de los silabarios hasta la época helenística.
SUMMARY: this article makes a diachronic journey through the various languages and scripts known in Cyprus in the second and first millennium BC. In addition to presenting an analysis of the data, it addresses the question of identity and tradition on the island of Cyprus in relation to the preservation of syllabaries until Hellenistic times.

territory passed from Roman to Burgundian rule: the cult of the Theban martyrs, for example, was closely associated with the Burgundian monarchy long after the collapse of Roman rule (pp. 300–11). As indicated by the above synopsis, this volume does not simply discuss the military history of the Roman limes on the upper Rhine, but a number of broader related topics as well, such as the continuing cultural relevance of Roman fortifications long after the Empire’s fall. One of its strengths is the variety of sources employed in the discussion, from ancient literary testimony and inscriptions to physical evidence like the treasure of Kaiseraugst. In addition, the book is abundantly illustrated with photographs, reproductions, maps and plans, many of which are in colour. A final benefit to the reader is the gazetteer of sites and relevant bibliography at the end of the book. The principal criticisms I have are both relatively minor. First of all, the discussion of certain topics is sometimes somewhat cursory: for example, given the importance of Julian’s victory over the Alemanni at Strasbourg to his subsequent career, the treatment of this event is surprisingly brief (pp. 216–17). Secondly, although the authors make use of a variety of sources and evidence, one seeming omission in this regard is coinage. Although mention is made of the problems inherent in using late Roman coin hoards as evidence for historical events, individual coins are conspicuous by their absence, despite the fact that the legends and images found on them provide some of the best evidence we have for imperial policy and propaganda. Such criticisms do not significantly detract from the overall quality of the book. The many sources in translation, conveniently assembled therein, will no doubt appeal to more casual readers, while the gazetteer of sites and bibliography will be of benefit for those wishing to conduct more detailed research on a given topic or site. The work should not only be of interest to those studying the history and archaeology of Roman Switzerland and the limes of the upper Rhine, but also those exploring broader aspects of Roman history, such as imperial strategy and the interplay of Christianity and the Roman military.

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.
