Pleiades managing editor Tom Elliott delivered this paper in the Presidential Panel of the Association of Ancient Historians Annual Meeting 2026 in Iowa City, Iowa, on Thursday, 16 April 2026.
New Paper: Catching up with the daughters of Atlas

I have added a version of the paper I delivered in Iowa City last month to the "Papers and Presentations" section of the Pleiades website. The Presidential Panel at the Association of Ancient Historians meeting celebrated the just-past 25th anniversary of the publication of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World. It seemed fitting, then, to trace the development and address the future of Pleiades, which sprang from that earlier effort. Share and enjoy!
