The word itself has many meanings in Greek. 'Barbarian' refers to an uncivilized or boor person. It can also be a foreigner, either from a different tribe or a different nation. In Linear B, it is possibly indicating the existence of a sense of identity distinguishing the people of Pylos from those of other regions. |
