Evolving Perspectives on Digital Classics contributes to a broader understanding of how digital humanities methods enhance classical studies. It offers an overview of current approaches and considers how new techniques can address diverse research questions.
The volume includes contributions from Sweden, Norway, Greece, Italy, the US, UK, and Australia, and primarily examines ancient textual and material data that connect multiple disciplines, focusing on what researchers can do beyond rigid boundaries. The first section discusses annotating and describing ancient narratives and entities. The second explores the digital representation and modelling of ancient spaces. The third highlights computational and AI-driven literary analysis. The fourth focuses on philological methods in textual analysis. The final section considers innovative applications in cultural and educational contexts.
Evolving Perspectives on Digital Classics demonstrates how digital methodologies can deepen understanding of the ancient world. The book encourages readers to adopt sound practices in data curation and analysis. It will appeal to scholars and students from a wide range of disciplines, including digital humanities, classics, philology, archaeology, and ancient history.
