Our project seeks to collect, organize, and present all free digital information on Ancient Science that is currently hosted by various personal and institutional websites. We hope that this free online collective database will help prospective students, current students of all ranks, and scholars to better navigate the digital footprints of our discipline. The ‘Ancient Science Portal’ project is created by a group of students and staff members of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) and is hosted by the Laboratory for the Electronic Processing of Historical Archives.

Ask a Historian of Science
A podcast series on the History of Ancient Science
In each episode, we invite a leading historian of Science to answer the first question that comes to everyone’s mind: Why don’t they get a proper job? In case this proves more difficult than expected, we will try to answer other, equally interesting, questions, such as: Who built the pyramids? Why did Archimedes count the number of sand grains it would take to fill the universe? Did the ancients think that the Earth was flat? Who killed Hypatia? Why would a monk send Diophantus to Hell? Who destroyed the Library of Alexandria?
