Description
A project of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation
A new way of experiencing Europe’s most ancient literary culture, implanted in its unforgettable landscape.
ToposText is a new interface that links readers and travelers to Europe’s most ancient literary culture and to the Greek landscape that inspired it. TT presents 5000 places relevant to the ancient Greek world -- ancient cities and shrines, medieval castles and towers, modern museums and excavation sites -- primarily in Greece but including major places from Spain to the Caucasus. It links those places to the ancient authors who wrote about them in Greek or Latin. A large classical library married to an up-to-date gazetteer, freely available as a mobile application or this web site.
Education / Reference Tool:
- Accurate coordinates for thousands of Greek historical sites
- Each site indexed to the ancient literary sources that mention it.
- A huge, free, portable library of classical texts in English
- Texts and places stored on-device – no internet access necessary.
- Location-aware display of site information.
- Recent archaeological information on many sites.
What’s New
Version 3.2
Five new ancient texts (817 total), including the Life of St. Porphyrios of Gaza, the indispensable commentary by the Tzetzes brothers to Lycophron's Alexandra, and a new English translation of Cristoforo Buondelmonti's Description of the Archipelago (1420 CE).
Significant bug fixes as well, including moving the border of Epiros closer to where it belongs.
Lots of new people and a few new places.
Ratings and Reviews
Πολύ καλή!
Πολύ καλή σκέψη και σε πολύ καλό δρόμο η ανάπτυξη της.
Καλό θα ήταν να γίνει δίγλωσσο, δηλαδή
Ελληνικά και Αγγλικά.
Promising
I've only been playing with it for a few minutes, browsing through local sites I already knew. It seems promising, some information on display seems partial but maybe I need to explore it further. 5 stars because it already taught me a couple of things about sites I thought I already knew!
Excellent idea
This is an excellent idea, of how you can make an application useful. Thank you very much.
