ENT_MYC_DIWIA	Diwia	Mycenaean	Goddess / Feminine form of Zeus	High Deity	feminine divine sovereignty; sky; Mycenaean great goddess; Linear B tablets		A						Mycenaean goddess attested at Pylos as di-u-ja (Linear B); her name is the transparent feminine form of di-we (Zeus / Di-wos), meaning literally "the female Zeus" or "she who is of Zeus"; she appears in Linear B offering lists alongside other deities and receives cult; her name directly corresponds to the later Classical Greek "Dione" (the same feminine derivation: Dios + -ōnē suffix = Dione), the goddess who is Zeus's consort at the oracle sanctuary of Dodona (Homer Iliad 5.370-417; Dione there consoles Aphrodite after she is wounded in battle); the Linear B Diwia represents the Mycenaean form of this Zeus-consort tradition before the Dark Age reshaped the divine hierarchy and demoted this figure from an independently worshipped goddess to a secondary consort	deity

ENT_MYC_ENYALIOS	Enyalios	Mycenaean	War deity	War Deity	war; battle; Ares-precursor; Mycenaean martial cult; Linear B		A						Mycenaean war deity attested as e-nu-wa-ri-jo in Linear B; critically, at Pylos tablet PY Tn 316 — the most important Mycenaean religious text, listing major deity recipients of offerings at a crisis-moment before the palace's destruction (c. 1180 BCE) — Enyalius and Ares (a-re) appear as SEPARATE recipients receiving their own offerings, establishing that in Mycenaean religion they were distinct deities, not a single deity with a title; in the Classical period Enyalios (Enyalios) survives as an epithet of Ares and as a battle-cry, but some Classical sources still distinguish the two; Pindar (Olympian 13.102) treats Enyalius as an independent deity; his identity in Mycenaean religion as a distinct war god who was later absorbed into or collapsed with Ares is one of the clearest cases of Mycenaean-to-Classical deity merger	deity
ENT_MYC_IPHIMEDEIA	Iphimedeia	Mycenaean	Goddess	Goddess	Pylian goddess; cult recipient	regional	B	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	i-pi-me-de-ja on PY Tn 316; though later myth knows Iphimedeia as a mortal heroine, in the Pylos tablet she is a divine cult-recipient.	deity
ENT_MYC_PIPITUNA	Pipituna	Mycenaean	Goddess	Goddess	Cretan goddess; offering recipient	regional	B	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	pi-pi-tu-na, a goddess receiving offerings on Knossos tablets (KN Fp series); a pre-Greek/Minoan-substrate theonym with no Olympian identity.	deity
ENT_MYC_POTNIA	Potnia	Mycenaean	Great goddess / Divine mistress	High Deity	divine mistress; sovereignty; Mycenaean great goddess; Linear B; multiple sanctuaries		A						"The Mistress" (Greek po-ti-ni-ja, Linear B); the most prominent and frequently named deity in the Linear B tablets; appears both as a qualified title (Athana Potnia = Lady Athena at Knossos KN V 52; Potnia Iqeja; Potnia Aswia; Potnia of the Labyrinth; Potnia of the Horse) and as an unqualified absolute ("the Mistress" without further specification, most common form); the various Potnia qualifications suggest a single great goddess figure whose cult was differentiated by location and domain in different Mycenaean palatial centers; the unqualified Potnia may be the Mycenaean equivalent of the Minoan palace goddess, and is the probable substrate for multiple Classical goddesses; "Athana Potnia" at Knossos is the earliest certain attestation of Athena; the palatial economy suggests Potnia received the largest or most frequent offerings at several sites; the breakdown of the unified Potnia into distinct Classical goddesses (Athena, possibly Hera, the Eleusinian Demeter) is one of the key transformations of the Dark Age	deity
ENT_MYC_POTNIA_LABYRINTH	Mistress of the Labyrinth	Mycenaean	Mistress/Potnia	Goddess	labyrinth; sanctuary mistress; honey offering; Cretan cult	regional	A	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	da-pu2-ri-to-jo po-ti-ni-ja ('Mistress of the Labyrinth') receives honey in Linear B tablet KN Gg 702 — the earliest textual attestation of the labyrinth, a distinct Cretan Potnia.	deity
ENT_MYC_QERASIJA	Qe-ra-si-ja	Mycenaean	Deity	Deity	Knossian cult recipient; theriomorphic/Cretan	regional	B	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	qe-ra-si-ja (masc. qe-ra-si-jo) receives offerings on Knossos tablets; read as 'the Theran goddess' or a beast-cult deity, a distinct Cretan-Mycenaean name.	deity
