(It is linked to the Little and Scott lexicon, so if you click on a word it parses it and gives you the full definition as well, it is really handy).
As for texts for people beginning to learn Greek, I don't know what is out there. I will check it out and send you a PM, though.
Check out these websites, where you can get free and legal ebooks/texts that might be of use to you:
www.textkit.com
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/...on:Greco-Roman
http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Diogenes/
Here is the TLG
http://www.tlg.uci.edu/ |
Thank you for those links. Oh, I did not know that the TLG was accessible by private citizens. I see a fee is required, but at least it is accessible. Sorry to bombard you with these questions, but as you know much more than I on these topics, may I ask:
1) Is JSTOR accessible for a flat fee also for private individuals (not individual article fees, which are very expensive)?
2) What software do you use to create Ancient Greek epubs?
3) Can Perseus be downloaded and used offline?
I already had Diogenes, but thanks for those other links! As for beginner books on Ancient Greek, the ones which I've seen from Textkit, Google Books and the Archive are all old PDF scans, not PDF/epub texts. I've never seen Ancient Greek epubs from the Archive work for me. Inkmesh reveals nothing on Athenaze or Mastronarde, so I will stick to my hard copies.
Xaire!
