Mapping Space in an Ancient Historian: the Herodotus Encoded Space-Text-Image Archive (HESTIA) Mapping Information with and without Geography Approaches to Data Visualization and Structure in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences e-Science Institute, Edinburgh, 30 th September - 1 st October 2009 Principal Investigator – Elton Barker, The Open University Co-Investigator – Chris Pelling, Christ Church, Oxford Co-Investigator – Stefan Bouzaroski, University of Birmingham IT consultant – Leif Isaksen, University of Southampton

Approaches to space in Herodotus A map of Herodotus’ world, according to Wikipedia…

Source of digital text: Perseus

Herodotus in XML

The HESTIA Database

HESTIA in GIS: all places red = settlement; yellow = region; blue = physical feature

GIS: all placenames (Pontus region)‏

GIS: all settlements in book 1 (Aegean region)‏

GIS: reference count (settlements)‏

GIS: co-reference network density (regions)‏

Payek: e.g. Internet industries (after Krebs)  219 nodes (companies), 631 edges (partnerships), 3 colours (kind)‏  the nodal size is proportional to its betweenness

Google Earth: mashup of locations in Herodotus

Google Timeline (after Nick Rabinowitz)‏

To be continued… For results, as and when they occur, go to: End of project conference: ‘Imagining space in texts: developing new analytical techniques for classicists and geographers’, 1-3 July 2010
