An introduction to the aims and achievements of MANTO. Includes a case-study of the use of its data in visualising the location and movement mythic relics described by Pausanias.

A note on a misinterpreted aspect of mythic topography in Antoninus Liberalis.

A discussion of the methods used in MANTO to create a granular, richly-connected model of mythic space which respects the porous relationship between fictional spaces and historical landscapes in ancient storytelling.

An analysis of how three Imperial writers—Apollodoros, Plutarch, and Pausanias—treat the stories of Theseus in connection to the landscapes of the Greek mainland.

A systematic examination of matrilineal succession in Greek myth that uses MANTO to identify 54 instances of kings who succeed their fathers-in-law, maternal grandfathers, step-fathers, or wives’ previous husbands. We argue that, although in these instances regnal power is transferred through female relatives, the heroines involved are typically treated simply as nodes for this power and their roles in these stories do not necessarily correlate to a greater visibility or autonomy.
