This study explores the evolution of Ioannis Metaxas’ social networks during his exile in Italy (1919–1920) and his return to Greece (1921–1923), focusing on the gender, nationality, and occupation of the network’s actors. Utilizing a mixed-method approach that combines Social Network Analysis (SNA), visualization techniques, and historical-critical interpretation, the study constructs temporal networks to examine changes in Metaxas’ connec-tions over time. Analysis through Gephi’s network visualizations and statistical metrics revealed that Metaxas’ network was dynamic and strategically adaptable, evolving to meet his needs in various contexts. Notably, de-spite his military background, Metaxas had limited contact with military personnel; women also played a crucial role as information conduits within his network. These findings demonstrate the value of integrating computa-tional techniques in historical research, offering new insights into Metaxas’ adaptable relationships and a broader understanding of historical events.
