Mapping the Mythos
A series of posts exploring the social network of Greek mythological characters, revealing the intricate relationships and central figures in these ancient stories.
Part I: Assembling the Cast of Gods, Heroes and Monsters
In this first part, I scrape a dataset of greek mythological texts and characters and cleaned the data for information extraction. Using the scraped data I was able to extract connections between characters. This structured dataset sets the stage for uncovering patterns of influence and centrality in the mythological universe.
Part II: Who's Really at the Center of the Drama?
In this second part, I analyze the network of Greek mythological characters, revealing who is most central, how communities form, and how character roles shift between Greek and Roman texts.
