This visualization comes from a personal project exploring the genealogical structure of Greek mythology.
The HoloGraph represents mythological figures (gods, mortals, creatures, etc.) as nodes and their parent–child relationships as links, allowing the mythological family networks to be explored dynamically.
The default view shows a simplified genealogy designed to remain readable and approachable.
Greek mythology, however, contains many conflicting traditions depending on the ancient author. An advanced mode therefore reveals alternative genealogical versions and provides the ancient sources supporting each relationship.

The data comes from a manually structured dataset documenting genealogical relationships in Greek mythology.
Relationships are extracted from ancient Greek and Roman literary sources such as Hesiod (Theogony), Apollodorus (Bibliotheca), Hyginus (Fabulae), Pausanias, and others. Passages are cross-checked using modern reference resources including Theoi Greek Mythology.
The dataset allows multiple genealogical traditions to coexist when ancient authors disagree.
