Description

In its original incarnation, the Perseus Project focused almost exclusively on the classics of ancient Greece and Rome. It has exploded in size and scope under the direction of Gregory Crane, its editor-in-chief, and is now known as the Perseus Digital Library. The site covers not only ancient Greece and Rome but also Egyptian and Ptolemaic papyri, the English Renaissance, and memories of early America. Contains perhaps the largest collection of ancient Greek texts that is to be found anywhere.
