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.

got ‘son of **** and ****’ and other crucial bits of info pretty early on, but that stuff’s a bit rusty, so all I could hope for was that one of the names I could dig up would stick.

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.

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.
