Publisher's Synopsis
This work presents a searchable, web-accessible database of Homer in the original Greek and in Lattimore's translations. The Greek texts of the Homeric Hymns and the poems of Hesiod are also included, along with English translations by David Hine.;In addition to providing Greek and English texts in an interlinear display, this work gives complete information (tense, mood, voice, case, gender and number) on the morphology of each Greek word. The most distinctive feature of this work is its ability to analyze and display the wealth of repeated phrases - such as "rosy-fingered dawn" and "swift-footed Achilles" - that are considered to be the hallmark of Homeric poetry. These phrases may be sorted by a number of criteria, including length, frequency, who spoke them, and the words they contain. They can also be displayed in the texts as links that allow a modern reader to see at a glance the degree to which any given passage is shot through with links to others.
