The digital collection “Mythological Routes in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace” was created as part of a project of the same name, which was developed by the Institute for Language and Speech Processing (ILSP) at the Athena Research Centre and the Department of Greek Philology (DUTh). The collection brings together 680 items (gathered from several museums and other organizations) that relate to 36 myths and mythical figures associated with the ancient region of Macedonia and Thrace.
The collection includes mythological paintings, reference texts and travel accounts, supported by bibliographic documentation and information on works of opera inspired by mythological themes.
By connecting mythological narratives and their artistic representations with places, the collection highlights the enduring presence of myths in the cultural landscape of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.
Year range: 700 π.Χ. - 2020
