Passage
When architect Michael Ventris stunned the academic world in 1952 by announcing that the mysterious Linear B script was actually an ancient dialect of Greek, he was standing on the shoulders of an unsung hero: classicist Alice Kober. Decades before Ventris's radio broadcast, Sir Arthur Evans had unearthed the first clay tablets at Knossos in 1900. However, Evans jealously guarded his find, publishing only a fraction of the texts during his lifetime and effectively stalling progress. It was not until Evans passed away in 1941 that his executor, John Myres, began compiling the remaining tablets for publication. During the late 1940s, working in her Brooklyn apartment with scarce resources, Kober analyzed these newly available texts, cataloging grammatical patterns on hand-cut index cards stored in tobacco tins. Although Kober's untimely death in 1950 prevented her from witnessing the final decipherment, her systematic identification of word endings paved the way for Ventris's ultimate success.
