In this episode - and epic finale to the fourth series - of the Life of Letters podcast, host Laura Edralin speaks with Dr. George Gazis, an expert in ancient inscriptions and Greek literature. They explore the history and evolution of writing systems, the significance of ancient inscriptions, and the impact of Linear B on our understanding of Greek writing. The conversation delves into the complexities of deciphering lost scripts, the role of digital tools in modern studies, and the cultural implications of writing as a form of expression.
