MANTO

Look up the people, places and stories of Greek myth in MANTO, the linked open dataset of Greek mythology built by Greta Hawes and R. Scott Smith: some 4,800 gods, heroes, monsters and animals, the collectives they belong to, the places, landmarks and objects of the storyworld and the events in it, each with the ties the ancient sources record between them and a stable address to cite.

Actions

Steps a workflow can run in MANTO.

  • Search entitiesFind the gods, heroes, monsters, collectives, places, landmarks, objects and events of Greek myth by name or by any word on their record. Each result carries its kind, its fields, the records it points at and the stable address to cite, and the ID to hand to Get an entity for the whole story. No account or API key required.
  • List entitiesPage through every entity in MANTO, a page at a time, in the dataset's own order. This is the step for building a full list, an index or a spreadsheet of the storyworld: loop over it with the next_offset each page hands back until has_more is false. No account or API key required.
  • Get an entityRead one entity's whole record: its name and kind, every field, every record it points at, and every tie the ancient sources record on it, with the stable address to cite. Give the MANTO ID, the stable address or the public page; a link copied from anywhere on MANTO works. No account or API key required.
  • Get several entitiesRead several entities' records in one step, in the order you gave them, with the same detail as Get an entity. An ID MANTO does not have is listed as missing instead of stopping the run, so one typo in a column of fifty does not cost you the other forty nine. No account or API key required.
  • Get an entity's connectionsList every tie recorded on an entity: the assertions the ancient sources make about it, such as whose child it is, where it was born, what it founded or killed, each with the records it points at and, where MANTO has them, a place and a date. The links come back as MANTO IDs, so a workflow can hand them straight to Get several entities and walk the storyworld a step at a time. No account or API key required.
  • Search any record typeSearch or page through any record type MANTO publishes, not only its entities: pick the type from the list the dataset itself provides, add words to look for or leave them out to page through everything. Run Describe the dataset first to see what each type holds. No account or API key required.
  • Describe the datasetRead how MANTO is put together: every record type it publishes, the fields each one carries and the kinds of tie a record can hold, with the IDs Search any record type takes. Run it once to learn which field names the other actions will hand back before building on them. No account or API key required.
