the spread of concored accord

Indeed the only Homeric reference to writing[6] was in the phrase "γράμματα λυγρά", grámmata lygrá, literally "uneducated", when referring to the Bellerophontic letter. (According to Walter Burkert in The Orientalizing Revolution, literacy explodes within a few decades after 750 BC: "The earliest Greek letters recognized to date originate in Naxos, Ischia, Athens, and Euboea, and appear around or a little before 750".[7]) Linear B tablets have been found in abundance at Thebes, which might lead one to speculate that the legend of Cadmus as bringer of the alphabet could reflect earlier traditions about the origins of Linear B writing in Greece (as Frederick Ahl speculated in 1967[8]). But such a suggestion, however attractive, is by no means a certain conclusion in light of currently available evidence. The connection between the name of Cadmus and the historical origins of either the Linear B script or the later Phoenician alphabet, if any, remains elusive. However, in modern day Lebanon, Cadmus is still revered and celebrated as the 'carrier of the letter' to the world. stipulation has it that linear b becomes common during homers time, becomes a common tongue. maybe. maybe homers refrence is to an earlier conifer lettering called linear A , which was at first clerical and later common. Cadmus introduced linear b in common but it took a decade in his area for it to become popular. In fact a better way to gage ity is to say, linear be developed into a codefied language in phinecia in accordance to dealings with other nations, including trade. a unity was struct world wide at trajonafter an earlier unity 3000 years standrad time. cadmis language was clerical at first as people slowly learned it, thus decades and centuries passed as people learned it. trojam was was 850 years after the intro of linear b whcihc was common tongue, clerics prefered linear a for secret talk, The dating is from cadmus but the infleection of clerics from me. It took 7 years for teh lanmguage to take root, a usual amount of time for such things. Although some countries took to the accord , it took years to convince teh people to adopt the langauge, esp as they were located away from the phenician state. 850 years after the intro of the language, just before the trojan episode recalled by homer, the linear b script became cosmically accepted everywhere as the main scrript, minor deriventrs like those in diferent langusges on terran exiosted. although east asians used mayek mav symbols on signs they really only use 24 letters like the theta, they like use and all the cosmos now use the same 32 characters, same shapes, thus brisdging the tower of bable forever cosmi8cally, one language purely phanetic , it works.
