Greek Myth as a Complex Network  

Choi, Yeon-Mu (Center for Liberal Arts and Instructional Development, Myongji University)
Abstract
We investigate the structure of the Greek myth network by using a Greek myth dictionary. In this network, the nodes represent the entries to the dictionary. We make links from an entry to other entries that appear in the explanatory part. We show that this network is clearly not a random network and that it has ``small-world" and ``scale-free" characteristics as do other real-world networks. We measure the average shortest path length, the clustering coefficient, the in-degree distribution, and the out-degree distributions; those show the power-law behaviors. We compare the data for this network with the data for other real-world networks.
