Since Monday, the #PleiadesGazetteer editorial college published 11 new and 106 updated place resources, reflecting the work of 4 people. The usual Monday blog post will summarize a full week's worth of such work, but meantime here's a #SneakPeek at one of the new ones. Authored by Anika Campbell on behalf of the MANTO Greek Myth project, with contributions from Jeffery Becker and Tom Elliott, we now have a place resource for the Tomb of the Seven against Thebes at Eleusis: https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/623023668
> According to Pausanias, the Seven against Thebes were buried at Eleusis, at the road to Megara, after the sanctuary of Metaneira. The location of this monument is unknown today.
The map shows the area of ancient Eleusis with some of the extant monuments marked.

Since Monday, the #PleiadesGazetteer editorial college has published 3 new and 251 updated place resources, reflecting the work of nine people. The usual Monday blog post will summarize a full week's worth of such work, but meantime here's a #SneakPeek at one of them. Authored by Anika Campbell and building on work done by the MANTO Greek myth project, we now have a place resource for Hyria in Cilicia. Hyria was an ancient city (now unlocated) mentioned by Apollodorus, who places it near Celenderis (modern Aydıncık in Turkey): https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/458576716
