Dear list,
if we want to digitally and uniquely identify, or refer to, real ancient
places, such as Antikyra or Aulis, we turn to Pleaiades Project or
Pelagios. But what would you propose to do with fictional places, such as
(the mythological) Acheron? Would you use VIAF, perhaps
(<http://viaf.org/viaf/237428674>)?
(You'll say, but why would we want to uniquely identify ancient fictional
places? For example, to be able to oppose them to real places -- and
analyse the use of one vs. the other.)
And, if anybody knows where a list of ancient fictional places can be
found, would you please share the information?
Best,
Neven
