Publication notes
Editorial Policy
The rules we use to keep myth, historical evidence and modern visual interpretation in their proper places.
Evidence and attribution
Factual statements should be supported by identifiable museum publications, accessible ancient texts, archaeological catalogues or current academic work. Each article includes an annotated list that explains the narrow role of a source. A link is not decoration: it should lead to the material used.
Myth is not a single transcript
We attribute episodes to a work or tradition and identify meaningful differences between tellings. We do not combine sources into a seamless narrative and then describe that composite as the definitive ancient account. Translations are identified as translations when the distinction matters.
Architecture and objects
Claims about date, material, plan, function or provenance must follow the record for the particular building or object. A visual resemblance alone does not establish an order, period or cultural origin. Missing attributes and disputed identifications are presented as uncertainty, not silently completed.
Images and generative tools
Contemporary editorial illustrations are captioned as original modern interpretations. They are not evidence for an ancient site or object. The project records their generation prompts and avoids reproducing a named modern franchise, protected character or claimed archaeological reconstruction.
Authorship
This delivery uses the explicit byline “AI-assisted editorial draft” until an accountable human editor reviews the text and adds a verified name and biography. The publication does not invent staff, credentials, interviews, field visits or expert approval.
Commercial content
There is no advertising or affiliate content in this edition. Any future sponsorship must be disclosed prominently, kept separate from editorial judgment and recorded on the relevant page. The journal does not sell or promote chance-based products.
Corrections
Readers can use the contact route to identify a passage and supporting source. Material factual changes should be reviewed by the responsible editor and logged with the date and substance of the correction. Quiet changes are appropriate only for typography or formatting that does not alter meaning.
