99 : 22. The authorities quoted by J. B. Bury in his _History of Greece_ are complete and concise. In chap. I he discusses the Dorian conquest from p. 57 forward, and the Homeric-Mycenæan period (1600–1100 B. C.) from p. 20. A very interesting instance of the truth of the picture of Mycenæan culture as drawn by Homer occurs on p. 50, where it is stated that much described by the poet, even to small articles, has been unearthed during archæological investigations. “Although the poets who composed the Iliad and Odyssey probably did not live before the ninth century, they derived their matter from older lays.” 99 : 27. Crete. For systems of Cretan writing see Sir Arthur J. Evans, _Cretan Pictographs and Pre-Phœnician Script_, _Further Discoveries of Cretan and Ægean Script_, _Reports of Excavations at Cnossus_, _Prehistoric Tombs of Knossos_, and _Scripta Minoa_. That the aboriginal “Eteocretan” language existed until historic times is attested by the discoveries of later inscriptions belonging to the fifth and succeeding centuries B. C., which were written in Greek letters at this time but in the indigenous, undecipherable tongue. They are described by Comparetti, _Mon. Ant._, III, pp. 451 _seq._, and by R. S. Conway, 2, 3, especially pp. 125 _seq._, in vol. VIII. In 1908 another discovery was made by the Italian Mission at Phæstus, of a clay disk with printed hieroglyphics which did not belong to the Cretan system of writing. It is supposed to have come from Asia Minor. For other discoveries in Crete and other authorities see R. M. Burrowes, C. H. and H. B. Dawes. On Cretan pottery see Sir Duncan Mackenzie, 2, and Sir Arthur Evans, 2. Sir Duncan Mackenzie also has a book on the Cretan palaces. Bury, in his _History of Greece_, pp. 9 _seq._, gives a brief description of Crete as revealed by archæologists. According to them, the palaces of Cnossus and Phæstus were erected before 2100 B. C., when Cretan civilization was well advanced. See also the note to p. 119 : 1 of this book. 99 : 28. Azilian period.
