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.

이 연구에서는 그리스-로마 신화 사전을 기초로 하여 그리스-로마 신화 네트워크를 만들었다. 어떤 항목 A의 설명부에 다른 항목 B가 포함되어 있으면 항목 A에서 항목 B로 향하는 연결선이 있는 것으로 생각하여 방향성-네트워크를 만들었다. 이렇게 만든 신화 네트워크는 무작위 네트워크는 분명히 아니며, 노드들 사이의 평균 최단 경로 거리, 연결선수의 분포 등을 측정하여 실재하는 여러 네트워크들처럼 좁은-세상, 척도-없는 네트워크임을 알아내었다.
