Classics, Computer Science, and Linguistics are brought together in
this book, in an attempt to provide an answer to the authorship
question concerning Prometheus Bound, a disputed play in the
Aeschylean corpus, by applying some well-established Computer
Stylistics methods. One of the main objectives of Stylometry,
which, broadly speaking, is the study of quantified style, is
Authorship Attribution. In its traditional form it can range from
manually calculating descriptive statistics to the use of
computer-assisted methodologies. However, non-traditional
Authorship Attribution drastically changed the field. It brought
together modern Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence
applications (machine learning, natural language processing), and
its key characteristic is that it aims at developing
fully-automated systems for the attribution of texts of unknown
authorship. In this book the author employs a series of supervised
and unsupervised techniques used in non-traditional Authorship
Attribution-applied here for the first time in ancient drama. The
outcome of the analysis indicates a significant distance between
the disputed text and the secure plays of Aeschylus, but also
various interesting (micro-linguistic) ties of affinity with other
authors, especially Sophocles and Euripides.
