Link to the TLG Online (limited free version). Make sure that you have the Gentium font or some other Greek unicode font installed (info here). For more info on typing in Ancient Greek on the Mac, see my "How to Type in Greek on the Mac."

Texts

The only text you'll need to begin with is Allen Rogers Benner's Selections from Homer's Iliad (University of Oklahoma Press, 2001). You should also have a good translation of the Iliad and Odyssey; I recommend Fagles' translation, or Lattimore's.

It is available at amazon and the usual outlets.

There is a dictionary in the back of this text, as well as a grammar, which you can supplement with Smyth and the resources in the classics library (especially Cunliffe's Lexicon).

Assignments will be posted regularly on our assignments page.
