The Perseus Project at Tufts University is the foremost Digital Library for the classical world, if
not for the Humanities in general. In its collection of Greek and Roman materials, readers will
find many of the canonical texts read today. The Greek collection approaches 8 million words
and the Latin collection currently has 5.5 million. In addition, many English language
dictionaries, other reference works, translations, and commentaries are included, so that
anyone with an internet connection has access to the equivalent of a respectable College
Classics library. The Perseus site is further enriched by intricate linking mechanisms among texts
(resulting in more than 30 million links).
You will here find the same texts, but the mechanism for browsing and searching the text is a
different one. It is PhiloLogic, a system that was especially developed for large textual
databases by the ARTFL project at the University of Chicago.
You can help us improve this site: If you encounter a problem, please use the Report a Problem
link that you will find on the Results pages. In addition, we hope you will select the correct
parses when you use the parse window. You will see your selection turn yellow; it will also be
stored in the database. The User Manual gives a general introduction to searching under
Philologic. This particular collection has its own special features, however. For a few quick hints
to get you started, check out the Info and Help section on the full search forms. More
discussion and background, with links to paper abstracts, presentations, etcetera, can be found
on the About this resource page.

Pointers for new users and experienced visitors

Hover over search boxes for additional hints on usage.
When in the Greek and Latin texts, click on a word to see a parse.
A parse box can also be found on this page.
When searching full text in PhiloLogic, you must enter the complete word or use a wild card
character (*). When searching with any other field (author, title,..) any few letters will suffice.
Texts can now be searched for lemmas and parts-of-speech. Use lemma: and pos: respectively.
Examples can be found in 'Info & Help' in the full search forms.
Dictionary lookups: Use complete words only. There are further dictionaries, and further
options on the search forms in the Reference collection.
Grammar sections: The grammars listed here are only a small subset of the collection of
monographs. See the dedicated search form for more.
For 'power users', the full search forms are linked from the top of this page.

Perseus under PhiloLogic Home

Thanks in large part to an Academic Technology Innovation grant of the Provost's office of the
University of Chicago, we have been able to add new features to this site. All the Greek and
Latin texts have been morphologically analyzed and indexed by string (as before), but also
lemma (i.e., their citation form or dictionary entry) and their part-of-speech analysis. As a
result, you can now search not just for words as they occur in the text, but also by lemma and
by any combination of morphological characteristics. More information in the morphology
sections of the 'About this Resource' page.
All the programming for this release was done by Richard Whaling. We wish to thank our
disambiguators: Kristin Dean, Charlotte Krontiris, and Ursula Poole; Walt Shandruk, for
munging through a pile of Latin data on short notice; the Perseus Project, for sharing data and
expertise; Martin Mueller, for consultation and making available his Homeric data; and Hugh
Cayless, for making our life easier with his Transcoder. We thank the entire staff at ARTFL for
welcoming classicists in their midst and generously sharing expertise, caffeine, and mirth.
