should be an easy 1 for anyone but me. I got the concept right away, but I picked an incorrect term instead of the blindingly obvious one

Got it in 19, should have hit it in 12 but got the spelling wrong, used colour instead of color, and got sidetracked.

I initially missed Linear B characters and assumed it was an American state, but quickly found the ancient Greek trail. I got "god" at 35 which should've been a notable clue but instead I went in realm/poetry direction.

Mild hint if you're stuck: today's might be hard for non-Americans.
Pretty clearly a person, and I ran out of 7-letter male names distressingly quickly. Thankfully American was key, and on a lark I tried Revolution, which was the key.

Lol I guess there are two keys... Mobile devices are the bane of my writing.

had the title of one of their main works very soon, also got their first name at some point - after I got their initials right. by then it was also painfully clear this was not someone I would have heard of (me being Dutch), so I just used this as an exercise to uncover as much of the text as possible. of course I did take some shots at the surname, but I needed the hint for their original name to get it. (I learned a lot on the way, btw!)

Probably could've shaved a dozen guesses off if I'd thought about why Romance and Slavic both had so many hits.
