- "The object of this book is to present the essential
facts of
Latin
grammar in a direct and simple manner, and within the smallest compass
consistent with scholarly standards. While intended primarily for the
secondary
school, it has not neglected the needs of the college student, and aims
to furnish such grammatical information as is ordinarily required in
undergraduate
courses."

Intelligent Person's Guide to Latin
- This Project has two purposes:
a) To deliver an "architectonic view" of the Latin linguistic system,
with a sense of what the parts mean and where they fit into a working
linguistic
whole.
b) At the same time to present a rational explanation of the individual
components as they are described (paradigms and all), in the belief
that
we know enough about practical linguistics at this time to revamp the
Classical
traditional-ese jargon and talk about Latin as a language-system which
was quite satisfactory for well over a millennium of varied
communications.

are intended to engage students with diverse backgrounds, goals, and
interests,
in learning interactively. The common goal will be the
acquisition
of fundamental translation skills in ancient and/or Biblical
Greek.
Because the Greek "common" (koinê) dialect resulted from a
convergence of ancient dialects where Attic, the Greek spoken in
Athens,
predominated, instruction in ancient Greek, which is traditionally
based
on Attic, is at the same time an introduction to the language of the
Old
and New Testaments." Gateway

is designed to provide some alternative to web searches that turn up
dozens

form
of divination. I am, however, interested in ancient culture in all its
facets. I hope you find some of these resources useful.

The aim of the project is threefold:
- to compile etymological databases containing the
inherited vocabulary
of
various Indo-European branches and to publish them on the Internet;
- to create an Indo-European etymological database on
the Internet;
- to compile a new Indo-European etymological
dictionary, which will
replace
Julius Pokorny's Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch (Bern:
Francke, 1959). Although Pokorny's masterpiece is an indispensable tool
used by Indo-Europeanists for all kinds of research, it is completely
outdated.
A new dictionary is a long-felt desideratum.

be
responsible for one language, the one in which he or she is
specialized.
Later, the collected evidence will be rearranged in accordance with the
respective Proto-Indo-European roots."

rhetoricae: The Forest of Rhetoric
This online rhetoric, provided
by Dr. Gideon Burton of Brigham Young University, is a guide to the
terms
of classical and renaissance rhetoric. Sometimes it is difficult to see
the forest (the big picture) of rhetoric because of the trees (the
hundreds
of Greek and Latin terms naming figures of speech, etc.) within
rhetoric.
This site is intended to help beginners, as well as experts, make sense
of rhetoric, both on the small scale (definitions and examples of
specific
terms) and on the large scale (the purposes of rhetoric, the patterns
into
which it has fallen historically as it has been taught and practiced
for
2000+ years).

and creative expression of Stoicism. Its primary purpose is to help
facilitate
the re-emergence of Stoicism as a living and practical philosophy for
the
modern age. The Stoic Voice Journal is a free publication and
is
committed to the ideal of Stoic fellowship. This is a place where
modern
Stoics and Stoic-minded persons can share and learn in a comfortable
setting.
For those visitors who are not familiar with Stoicism, this is an
excellent
starting place to learn more about the modern Stoic experience."
The
Suda On-Line
The Suda is a 10th century Byzantine Greek historical
encyclopedia of
the
ancient Mediterranean world in five volumes, derived from the scholia
to
critical editions of canonical works and from compilations by yet
earlier
authors, much that is ultimately derived from the earliest or best
authorities
in ancient scholarship.

Tetius
Latinitatis Lexicon
Many months ago someone on this list or the grex alter
announced the
availability
via the web of the granddaddy of all Latin-Latin lexicons, the Totius
Latinitatis
Lexicon by Egidio Forcellini. This is in a raster based format rather
than
character based (e.g. ascii.) and requires a plugin called cpcview.
After
using the programm for a few weeks, I was unable to get it to function
any longer. Today I tried an alternate
URL provided by Hyginus Garcia at his new
web site. You can look up the Latin definitions of words like:
- SESQUIULYSSES, & Sesculysses,is, m. quasi unus
& dimidius
Ulysses,
Varro hoc titulo inscripsit unam e satyris suis, posuitque pro
homine
astutissimo & callidissimo. Citat hanc satyram Plin. in praefat.
Histor.
nat. & Nonius saepe.
You can look up definitions for ancient & modern
Latin terms.

find

Theory.org
"The media studies website with resources on identities,

Theory
Trading Cards. Not a place to study classics itself, but a place
to learn about the approaches to analyzing literature & culture
that
are popular today.

Vroma
VRoma itself can be conceptualized in two distinct
(though related)
ways:
- an on-line "place," modeled to some extent upon the
ancient city of
Rome,
where students and instructors can interact live, hold courses and
lectures,
and share resources for the study of the ancient world. As an on-line
virtual
environment, VRoma contextualizes and situates linguistic and cultural
information within a simulated space, a virtual 'city' containing
historical
places (a simulation of the city of Rome circa 150 CE) and
non-historical
places (simulations of various types of spaces that imaginatively evoke
ancient life).
- a collection of and filter for internet resources,
which will be
accessible
in a variety of formats for individual learning, research and perusal.
These extendible and customizable resources will include texts,
commentaries,
images, maps and other materials. Students and instructors will also
have
the option of customizing materials to suit their own reading levels
and
curricula.
