PGM Concordance
It's been a long time between posts!
I've been playing around with Claude (don't judge) and have used it to create a handy reference concordance of deities, divine beings, and sacred names invoked in the Papyri Graecae Magicae, drawn from the Preisendanz corpus and Betz's translation. Names are cross-cultural, reflecting the syncretic Greco-Egyptian milieu of Roman Egypt.
A second tool is included which allows you to browse the complete PGM and PDM corpus by magical theme. Looking for a restraining spell? Click on the theme and hey presto they'll each be listed. To access this tool, click “Search Themes” at the top of the page.
I haven't spent a huge amount of time on it so no doubt there are a few voces magicae and sacred vowel combinations missing and the themes could do with some tweaking, but I hope to update it at some point in the future. Feel free to get in touch with suggestions.
Basic as it is, it's been a handy reference for me, and I hope you get some use out of it too.
