1560	ENT_MYC_DIWIA	received_as	ENT_DIONE	medium	The Linear B di-u-ja (Diwia) and the Classical Dione share the same derivation: both are the transparent feminine form of the Zeus-name (Proto-Greek *Diw-os → Diwia in Linear B; Dios → Dione in Classical Greek, using the -ōnē suffix). Dione appears in Homer (Iliad 5.370-417) as Zeus's consort on Olympus, where she comforts Aphrodite after her wounding — a role that suggests she is a survival of an older tradition rather than a narrative creation. Her cult at Dodona (one of the oldest Greek oracular sanctuaries) as Zeus's consort preserves what the Linear B Diwia represents: a major independent goddess who was progressively subordinated as Zeus's divine sovereignty was consolidated in the post-Dark-Age period. Confidence medium rather than high because the continuous cult identity between Mycenaean Diwia and Classical Dione cannot be directly documented through texts.
