Abstract
Modern clinical and psychological evidence on reading processes suggest they are lateralised to the left hemisphere. It is suggested this need not have been the case with the readers of ancient scripts. Several arguments are made that palaeographic evidence of writing direction, orientation of literals and the possible existence of inverted hand writing position are consistent with the right hemisphere hypothesis. Such evidence would suggest left hemispheric processes for reading first occured in Ancient Greece in the 6th century B.C.
