Two globes. One maps the figures who shaped human history — their lives, their documented connections, their inseparable legacies. The other inhabits the impossible geography of Greek myth: gods, titans and heroes whose stories we have been telling for three thousand years because they describe something that does not change.
This atlas is an argument: that the same patterns of power, creation, sacrifice and destruction run through every era. That myths are not stories from another time, but the oldest language we have for naming what we are.
Each node is a person. Each line between nodes is a verified connection — not a declared influence or shared context, but a link with concrete historical evidence: actual correspondence, documented collaboration, recorded conflict. The size of each node reflects the density of its real connections.
Mythological figures are assigned their Jungian archetype — the psychological pattern they represent in the collective unconscious. The most representative historical figures have their mythological equivalent: not as decoration, but as analysis.
