1558 Potnia ENT_MYC_POTNIA received_as Athena 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. Michael Ventris and John Chadwick, Documents in Mycenaean Greek, 2nd ed.

1559 Athena ENT_ATHENA reception_of Potnia ENT_MYC_POTNIA high Athena as the Classical Greek differentiation of the Mycenaean Potnia tradition; "Athana Potnia" at Knossos KN V 52 is the earliest attestation; the goddess named and cult-defined independently in the post-Dark-Age period.

1560 Diwia ENT_MYC_DIWIA received_as Dione 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.

1561 Dione ENT_DIONE reception_of Diwia ENT_MYC_DIWIA medium Classical Dione as the Iron Age / Archaic survival of the Mycenaean Diwia (feminine Zeus); her role as Zeus's consort at Dodona preserves the older independent goddess status of the Linear B deity.

1562 Enyalios ENT_MYC_ENYALIOS received_as Ares ENT_ARES medium Pylos tablet PY Tn 316 — the most important Mycenaean religious text, listing offering recipients at a crisis moment before the palace's destruction c. 1180 BCE — lists both E-nu-wa-ri-jo (Enyalius) and A-re (Ares) as separate recipients, establishing they were distinct war deities in Mycenaean religion. In the Classical period, Enyalius (Enyalios) persists primarily as an epithet of Ares and as a battle-cry formula; however, some Classical sources still treat Enyalius as distinct (Pindar Olympian 13.102; the separate cult title at some sanctuaries). The transition from independent deity to epithet is the Mycenaean-to-Classical merger: Enyalius's identity and cult were absorbed into the dominant Ares figure in the post-Dark-Age consolidation of the Greek war-deity tradition.

1563 Ares ENT_ARES reception_of Enyalios ENT_MYC_ENYALIOS medium Classical Ares as the post-Dark-Age consolidation that absorbed the Mycenaean Enyalius; the distinct war deity of Mycenaean religion survived only as an Ares epithet and battle-cry in the Classical period.
