Description

This is a release of the most recent publication of the data behind MANTO's public interface, available at https://manto.unh.edu/publication.s/2616/. MANTO is a dataset that models the Greek mythic storyworld and its impacts on the historical landscape of the Mediterranean using evidence from ancient sources. It provides authoritative data for researchers that makes big questions about the dynamics of Greek myth answerable at unprecedented scale.
