What is Prometheus about?

## 204 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGY so far as our evidence goes, only in the Egyptian papyri. Of the total of 5853 words in his tables, Palmer finds about 32% Attic, 13% Ionic-Poetic, 30% Hellenistic, and 25% New. It is inevitable that a language will need and invent new words, with the passage of time. The question merely is, are these new words of the same types as they would have been in an earlier period, or not. Palmer carefully strips his lists of all variants which derive only from phonetic confusion. This is the more possible because, thanks in recent years particularly to Sturtevant, we do know something about the history of Greek phonology. The results are reliable, seemingly, which makes it all the more notable that they are not revolutionary. Group by group, the papyri show types of formation which were popular in Attic.
