Mycenaean wo-ra

Del Freo M.

Mycenaean war chariots  Chariot terminology  Linear B  Knossos 

It is generally agreed that the term wo-ra designated a part of the Mycenaean war chariot. Its interpretation, however, is far from certain, and many different proposals have been advanced so far. The present article suggests a new hypothesis based on the shape of some variants of the CUR logogram.
