The ultimate dependence of both the Minoan linear classes on the
hieroglyphic and still more primitive pictographic systems that had preceded
them in Crete has already received sufficient demonstration.2 The inter-
connexion, indeed, is of such a kind as to impose the conclusion that we
have to do with an earlier form of the same language. Not to speak of the
Cypriote and East Mediterranean offshoot, the Cretan dominion on the
soil of Mainland Greece naturally brought in its wake the same diffusion
of the Minoan script and language of which these still earlier records are
traceable in the Cycladic Isles. In the succeeding Section cogent proofs
are supplied of the survival of the later script and language, and, with it,
the nomenclature of Minoan Crete in the chief Mainland centres to a date
appreciably later than the fall of the Great Palace.
