Summary

Description
English: Reconstruction (using Photoshop) of "Kalisti" (ΚΑΛΛΙΣΤΗ) inscrition based on Nestor's Cup
Source Own work
Author Odysses

Notice: this image does not actually represent either the script of the "Nestor's Cup" or any other known form of archaic Greek:

  1. The word "καλλίστῃ" does not actually occur on the N.C. (the word this was partly copied from is "καλλιστεφάνου")
  2. The alphabet of Pithecusae would not have used Η as a vowel sign
  3. Archaic Greek would not have left out the final Ι, as the sound in question was still a true diphthong; it would have been spelled either "ΕΙ" or "ΗΙ" depending on whether the local alphabet had vocalic Η.
