Quellen zur Antike im Zeitalter der Digitalität: Kookkurrenzen, Graphen und Netzwerke

Abstract

In the Digital Humanities, source analysis for classical studies must take into account the specific editing techniques and models associated with the transmission of ancient texts. The paper proposes methodological principles that show all kinds of references (editions, fragment collections, quotations, paraphrases) in the automatic extraction. This is exemplified in the application of a co-occurrence search (political debate in Athens in the 5th century B.C., nomads in Greek historiography) and network visualization with Gephi (construction of tradition vs. visualization of source networks using the example of the source network in Plutarch’ s oeuvre).
