CLASSICS on the INTERNET

Note for the ill-educated: `Classics' means the study of ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome and their people and culture.
It does not mean either `classic' English literature or `classical' music.

Classical Myth

There's a Greek and Roman section of the Myths and Legends site.

Other Resources

Bibliotheca Classica Selecta: a bibliographic introduction to the study of the Ancient World. Based in Belgium (and written in French), it is the electronic version of a printed guide (5th ed., 1997, 313 p.), mainly intended for students. It includes printed documentation (English, French, German, and Italian) as well as links to electronic resources.

The Interpreting Ancient Manuscripts Web: an introduction to palaeography, textual criticism, etc., originally developed at Brown University. See also other materials on Texts, Manuscripts, and Palaeography.
(The Hellenistic Greek Linguistics page seems to be off-line now.)
Ancient Medicine/Medicina Antiqua: the ancient medicine website.
Rome Reborn: a project aiming to produce a virtual reconstruction of Imperial Rome. Some nice pictures.
Bill Thayer's Roman Page, including a would-be-comprehensive list of Roman-related Web sites. I found this site unfriendly, because my browser displays much of the text in an almost illegibly small font, and some of the links generate new Netscape windows all over my screen: it even crashed my whole machine once. However, in principle, it should be a pretty useful information hub. It includes texts of Pliny (Latin), Vitruvius (Latin, English, French), and Cassius Dio (English).
The Internet Classics Archive, a collection of English translations of classical texts.
The Classics Page at Ad Fontes Academy has links to online Latin texts andother things.
A collection of links to online Latin texts and their English translations.
