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_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
