Hardware problems!: A key server in the Perseus site has experienced intermittent hardware problems.
We are in the process of upgrading this hardware and creating a more stable hardware environment. We apologize for the delays and
hope to have the problem resolved in a few days. Perseus 4.0 released -- a
new implementation of the Perseus Digital Library.
Perseus 4.0, a new
Java-based version of the Perseus Digital Library, is available for testing. It
contains a faster, more manageable back-end and a more modern look and feel.
Many features of Perseus are now available as XML services -- for example, developers can extract
well-formed XML fragments of primary sources with full TEI-conformant
markup in order to create their own front ends. Read more... - What did an educated Roman know about the world? We've added Pliny the
Elder's encyclopedic
Natural History,
(search),
a remarkable snapshot of the state of Geography, Ethnography, Astronomy, Biology, and Geology in the early Roman empire.
- New reference works: Smith's
Dictionary of
Greek and Roman Antiquities
(search), and
Smith's Dictionary of
Greek and Roman Geography
(search).
Although both works are more than a hundred
years old, they remain valuable sources for information about the classical
world.
- Seen the movie and want to read the book? We've added Benner's commentary on selections from the Iliad,
including a short Homeric Grammar.
- New Roman History texts: Appian and Polybius
