Resources

There are thousands of sites on the Web devoted to Classics and Ancient Mediterranean archaeology.
The following sites are particularly outstanding and link with a host of other sites.

Perseus is a continually growing digital library of resources for studying the ancient world. The library's materials include ancient texts and translations, philological tools, maps, extensively illustrated art catalogs, and secondary essays on topics like vase painting. Gregory Crane is the editor of the Perseus Project, located in the Classics Department of Tufts University.

These sites also contain Greek and Latin texts and translations:

• The Internet Classics Archive (classics.mit.edu)
• Forum Romanum—Corpus scriptorum latinorum
• The Latin Library (www.thelatinlibrary.com)
• Vergil.org (www.virgil.org)

Lacus Curtius is Bill Thayer's site on Roman antiquity, including Latin texts, a book on Roman roads in Britain, and hundreds of photographs of Roman monuments. The RomanSites archives links to about 1300 websites dealing with ancient Rome. (penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/home.html)

The Ancient Greek Tutorial site of the Department of Classics, University of California at Berkeley, provides tutorials for anyone learning ancient Greek. The project belongs to Professor Donald Mastronarde, who has authored a textbook upon which the material is based. The site is made available through the University of California Press.

John Gruber-Miller of Cornell University has posted "Let's Review Greek!" It links to elementary and intermediate readings, online exercises, easy Ancient Greek Grammars, and other goodies. (www.cornellcollege.edu/classical_studies/reviewgreek/greekgrammar.shtml)

Also see Ariadne: Resources for Athenaze, conceived by John Gruber-Miller and Cindy Benton. The website offers activities that integrate language and culture and helps Greek language students and their teachers see the ancient world through the eyes of "Others": women, metics, slaves, non-Athenians, and non-Greeks. By including images of the multicultural world of the ancient Aegean, culture questions, readings of ancient Greek texts and inscriptions, writing activities, and oral scripts, Ariadne provides a multisensory environment for learning ancient Greek that provides a balance between sentence-level grammar and discourse-centered activities.
