Earthquake Connection Indicator (ECI) table for the locations of the cult of Poseidon with earthquake-related epithets in the ancient Aegean Sea region

The rationale behind this table is to categorize the spatial attachment of the evidence of the earthquake-related epithets of Poseidon to earthquake proxies in the region of the ancient Aegean Sea. Attributes Location States the location of a findspot of the evidence of an earthquake-related epithet of Poseidon. Epithet Identifies a specific earthquake-related epithet of Poseidon at a particular location. Earthquake_connection_indicator Each location of the cult of Poseidon with an earthquake-related epithet is attributed with a number from 1 to 3 based on its spatial ties to earthquake proxies. Earthquake proxies consist of active fault lines (Ganas, A., I. A. Oikonomou, and C. Tsimi. 2013. ‘NOAfaults: A Digital Database for Active Faults in Greece’. Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece 47 (2): 518–30. https://doi.org/10.12681/bgsg.11079), and locations of ancient earthquake reports (Guidoboni, Emanuela, Graziano Ferrari, Gabriele Tarabusi, Giulia Sgattoni, Alberto Comastri, Dante Mariotti, Cecilia Ciuccarelli, Maria Giovanna Bianchi, and Gianluca Valensise. 2019. ‘CFTI5Med, the New Release of the Catalogue of Strong Earthquakes in Italy and in the Mediterranean Area’.

ECI 1: A location with an attested cult of Poseidon with an earthquake-related epithet located more than 5 kilometers from the nearest active fault or an ancient earthquake report. ECI 2: A location with an attested cult of Poseidon with an earthquake-related epithet located within a 5-kilometer radius from an active fault line. ECI 3: A location with an attested cult of Poseidon with an earthquake-related epithet located either a) within a 5-kilometer radius from an active fault line with an ancient earthquake report anywhere along the particular fault; or b) within a 5-kilometer radius from an ancient earthquake report itself.
