Patron Reward: The Greek Dark Ages
Added 2020-09-09 14:07:23 +0000 UTCThis map is a reward for $20-tier patron Duncan Orr!
It's a map of the Greek Dark Ages, from the rough perspective of the Island of Delphi. Since states were super tiny and it would be impossible to meaningfully represent them at this scale, the colors on the map instead represent the dominant language groups in antiquity. Blue is Ionic Greek, Red is Doric Greek, Brown is Northwestern Greek (often considered an offshoot of Doric), Green is Aeolian Greek, and Purple is Achaean Greek. The edges of the world are faded into nothingness (Anybody happen to find an eastern anatolia and the top half of Italy?) and subtly blurred, to convey the unsure geography of the peripheral Greek world from the perspective of an Aegean island like Delphi.
