1558	ENT_MYC_POTNIA	received_as	ENT_ATHENA	high	The Linear B tablet KN V 52 from Knossos reads "a-ta-na po-ti-ni-ja" — Athana Potnia, "Lady Athena" — making this the earliest certain attestation of the Greek goddess Athena, and establishing her origin within the Mycenaean Potnia tradition. The unqualified Potnia ("the Mistress") is the generic form; "Athana Potnia" is the Knossos localization. This means Athena began as a Potnia-type great goddess and later differentiated from the Potnia collective into a distinct deity with her own name and iconographic identity in the post-Dark-Age period. Burkert (1985) treats this as one of the clearest cases of Mycenaean-to-Classical religious continuity.	SRC_VENTRIS_CHADWICK	reviewed	PER_GRK_MYCENAEAN
