Over the past ten years the spatial turn in the humanities in Scandinavia has resulted in a growing number of infrastructural projects aimed at facilitating interdisciplinary research into spatial aspects of a rich variety of materials, place-names, early modern inventories and cadastral maps, as well as literature and runic inscriptions. This chapter examines the affordances and challenges in using contemporary digital spatial research infrastructures for the analysis of ancient narratives, using Pausanias’s Periegesis Hellados as a case study.
