The World of Thucydides: From Texts to Artefacts and Back
نویسنده
چکیده
The ongoing work presented in this paper is related to the Hellespont project, an NEH-DFG founded project aimed at joining together the digital collections of Perseus and Arachne. We shall discuss the design of a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) that combines archaeological data from Arachne and textual data drawn from Perseus with bibliographic information contained in JSTOR. We take as test-bed for our approach the so-called Pentecontaetia of the ancient Greek historian Thucydides (Thuc. 1,89-1,118).
