Mabel Louise Lang (November 12, 1917[1] – July 21, 2010[2]) was an American archaeologist and scholar of Classical Greek and Mycenaean culture.

[6] She was the author of several books on Classical Greek law and culture, and was a contributor to the deciphering of the Linear B inscriptions found at Pylos.

[7] She was also the first, in 1969, to attempt to interpret the patterns on the painted floors of the megaron at Pylos, suggesting that the designs represented different types of stone.

[9] In 1982 she delivered the Martin Classical Lectures at Oberlin College, and these were later published as Herodotean Narrative and Discourse.

[10] The body of unfinished work which she left at her death was published posthumously by her colleagues in 2011 as Thucydidean Narrative and Discourse.
