A Periodic Table of
Greek Mythology
A manifesto
in practice
A compendium of writing about the characters of Greek mythology, with contributions from people of all backgrounds, from school pupils to professors, from teens to pensioners, across a spectrum of different nationalities, ethnicities, and identities.
This is a true picture of our Classics community in 2025.
Myth meets
Modernity
Each page of the book tells the tale of a different figure from Greek mythology. From Ariadne to Zeus, more than a hundred characters have their stories, etymologies, reception and connections told.
This beginner’s guide is an engaged, discursive, sometimes personal, and occasionally provocative look at Greek mythology, what it meant to the ancient Greeks, and what it can mean for us today.
By the numbers
79% WORKING CLASS
More than three quarters of our 117 writers identify themselves as working class.
81% of our writers attended a state (free) school.
49% of our writers identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, with many offering unique insights and perspectives on ancient stories.
10% of our writers identified themselves as BAME/POC, a statistic we would like to increase in the next book.
Classicists from across the globe are represented in this book, with many writing in their second language or requiring translation.
49% of our writers identified as neurodiverse and just under one third of people had access requirements that we met.
This book is more than a beginner's guide to Greek mythology.
It is a showcase of the creative talent and academic wit from which the field of Classics would benefit if it were more freely open and accessible to everyone.
