Thebes tablets
The clay Thebes tablets with inscriptions in the Mycenaean Greek language of the Linear B script, were discovered in Thebes, Greece. They belong to the Late Helladic IIIB context, contemporary with the finds at Pylos. A first group of 21 fragments was found in the 1963–64 campaign;〔They were published by John Chadwick in ''Minos'' 10 1970:115-37.〕 A further 19 tablets were found in 1970 and 1972.〔Theodoros G. Spyropoulos and John Chadwick. ''The Thebes Tablets II'' (Salamanca: Universitad de Salamanca) 1975.〕 Using Near Eastern cylinder seals associated with the finds, the editors of the published corpus of the whole archive now date the destruction of the ''Kadmeion'', the Mycenaean palace complex at Thebes, and therefore the writing of the tablets, some of which were still damp when they were unintentionally fired, to shortly after 1225 BC. Chadwick identified three recognizable Hellenic divinities, Hera, Hermes and Potnia "the mistress", among the recipients of wool. He made out a case for ''ko-ma-we-te-ja'', also attested at Pylos, as the name of a goddess.
Quite early, before the more recent discoveries, F.M. Ahl made the provocative suggestion concerning the ''phoinikeia grammata'', the "Phoenician" or the "palm-leaf" (''phoinix'') letters: "Cadmus did bring writing to Thebes, but this writing was not the Phoenician alphabet, but Linear B".〔Ahl, Frederick M. "Cadmus and the Palm-Leaf Tablets", ''The American Journal of Philology'', 88.2 (April 1967, pp. 188–194) p. 188.〕
== Discovery ==
A substantial additional portion, some 250 tablets, amounting roughly to 5% of the entire Mycenaean corpus from all sites, was discovered in Pelopidou Street and the "Arsenal" by Vassilis L. Aravantinos, the current archaeological superintendent of Thebes, from 1993 to 1995, in a rescue excavation. In 1996, a few more tablets were identified in a museum among finds from the 1963–64 dig in Thebes.
The number of "tablets" given by the editors is actually misleading. For example, as Tom Palaima and Sarah James have independently demonstrated, the "123 tablets" of the Fq series actually are many fragments of texts that originally made up between fifteen and eighteen tablets at the most.
