New Latin Grammar
- "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.

- "These two sequences of online Greek courses
(1331/1332 and 3331/3332) 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

- This is a first-year course in New Testament
Koine Greek. It does not assume any knowledge of Greek.

useful since it reduces the learning curve: Greek
nouns/adjectives use a case system very similar to
Latin's or Russian's and Greek has an inflected article
like German's.

- The IED: The Indo-European
Dictionary
- "The IED project is supervised by Alexander Lubotsky
and Robert Beekes. 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.

every researcher will 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."

novel. (For critical background, see the accompanying

Silva 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).

The Stoic Voice Journal
"The Stoic Voice Journal is a monthly e-mail/online

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.
The Swerve
Stephen Greenblatt. The Swerve: How the World Became Modern.
Nearly six hundred years ago, a short, genial, cannily
alert man in his late thirties took a very old
manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement
what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied.
That book was the last surviving manuscript of an
ancient Roman philosophical epic, On the Nature
of Things, by Lucretius—a beautiful poem of the
most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned
without the aid of gods, that religious fear was
damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of
very small particles in eternal motion, colliding and
swerving in new directions. The copying and
translation of this ancient book-the greatest
discovery of the greatest book-hunter of his
age-fueled the Renaissance, inspiring artists such as
Botticelli and thinkers such as Giordano Bruno; shaped
the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein;
and had a revolutionary influence on writers such as
Montaigne and Shakespeare and even Thomas Jefferson.

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.
TheatreHistory.com
This site has introductions to the history of
theater and some excellent articles on various plays,
playwrites, etc. A good place for secondary
sources. The articles are divided according to
nationality, author, and subject.
THEOI PROJECT - A Guide to
Greek Gods, Spirits & Monsters

Spirits (Daimones) and Monsters (Theres).
Here you will find individual entries the various
divinities & monsters containing quotes sourced
from a wide and growing variety of Classical Texts.
Many are also illustrated with pictures from C5th BC
Greek Vase Painting."
Theory.org
"The media studies website with resources on
identities, theorists, gender and much more."
The high point of the site is the collection of 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.
TOCS-IN: Tables of Contents
of Journals of Interest to Classicists
"TOCS-IN provides the tables of contents of a

Unicode Polytonic Greek Font
"Aristarcoj, Cardo, Hindsight Unicode, and
Alphabetum are the only ones complete with all the
archaic numerals and Coptic characters [as of 2002;
several archaic characters have since been added to
the Unicode standard; will have to address them in the
next release]. New Athena Unicode and Galilee
Unicode Gk have all the numerals, but no Coptic. The Aristarcoj
characters embody my personal appearance
preferences.* My other pick as to appearance is
GentiumAlt (the regular Gentium uses the tilde
accent), but unfortunately it contains no numerals."
The Vergil Project
"The Vergil Project is a collaborative enterprise
dedicated to collecting, creating, and disseminating
resources for teaching and research about Vergil. Its
main goal is to develop an on-line, interactive
hypertext database of all materials that might be of
interest to any student of Vergil, from the novice to
the professional scholar, from the passionate amateur
to the casual browser. The purpose of this resource is
to facilitate the study and enjoyment of Vergil's
poetry and to make it freely accessible to the widest
possible audience."

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.
