Abstract

As a continuation of my recent study of topics in ancient fiction, the continuation of the project aims to further investigate some of the topics discovered, i.e. spatial and temporal aspects. Space and time are two of the core features of narratives (together they form the 'chronotope' which is a highly relevant concept for my project), and computational approaches to study them is still lacking in the field of classical philology. This project will use currently available tools within NLP, as well as test, develop and evaluate new and more applicable methods for this language and corpus.
