Recenzii
A shared vision about the need to contemplate space in new ways, Herodotus' Histories as a common arena for deliberation, and the potential of digital humanities to open new lines of research embody the three thematic axes of the book. Also, due to the frequent cross-references across chapters, the volume bears the mark of a genuinely interdisciplinary debate. All of this effec-tively entices the reader to mull over spatiality in Antiquity in a less (post-Enlightenment) cartographic manner.
New Worlds from Old Texts is an excellent example of the integration of thoughtful humanistic inquiry and digital methods. It would serve as a fine example for anyone curious about digital classics. Moreover, several of the papers in Part I make a strong claim for inclusion in a classical geography syllabus and the volume is essential reading for anyone considering the spatial dimension of Herodotus
Readers will come to this volume for diverse reasons -- Herodotean scholarship, literary criticism, spatial theory, and/or new "mapping" technologies -- and the editors are to be commended for seeing through their initial vision for a volume that brings together various strategies for re-imagining how the ancient Greeks and Romans conceived of their world.
