Student Researchers
Ari Toumpas
Ari worked on MANTO data collection as an undergraduate at the University of New Hampshire. She is now a Graduate Fellow in the Department of Classics at the Ohio State University. Her research interests are in story worlds and kinship reckoning in Greek myth, and Classical reception in Puerto Rican and Nuyorican literature. You can find her work here. Yaya Lu
Yaya is an honours student at the Australian National University. She is using MANTO’s genealogical data to create intuitive, accessible visualizations for researchers and the general public. This project has shown that no out-of-the-box graphing solutions come close to accommodating the complexities of mythical family relationships. You can see her work here.
