A user-centered design to annotate ritual facts in ancient Greek tragedies

摘要

Euporia is an annotation system developed with a user-centered approach for the study of ritual andudreligion in ancient Greek tragedy. Euporia adopts a domain specific language (DSL) and a lightweightudweb user interface in order to offer digital support to an anthropological study of ancient Greekudtragedy that compares ritual as it is performed or described in Greek tragedy with actual ancient ritualudas it can be reconstructed from literary, archaeological and epigraphic sources.udThe case study discussed in this paper (Aesch. Ag. 67-71) shows one of the main features ofudEuporia: the possibility to annotate different readings and different interpretations of the text and theirudconsequences in the reconstruction of ancient Greek ritual.
