LINKS |

|
N.B.: I want to point out that I preferred to insert only few links in this section
rather than making out a long list (which, in my opinion, wouldn't had made sense and, on the contrary, would had
generated confusion) to give to the visitors of this page only some starting points for their researches on the
classic world on the internet. Of course there are many more interesting sites on the net with the classic world as
subject but, again, this page gives only some starting points. Anyway if you want to indicate me some interesting
site which, according to you, deserves to be put on the list, let me know by writing to this address:
info@locriantica.it. The links to
two of the old web projects, Argos and A.R.G.E., have
been deleted from the following list since the projects have been suspended due to the lack of funds.

THE
PERSEUS DIGITAL LIBRARY |
|
|
This site, created and
maintained by the TUFTS university, is (as it's written on
its home page) an evolving digital library and its purpose
is to offer the access to the sources of the classical
knowledge to an audience as larger as possible, taking
advantage of the potential of the internet. And, as a matter of
fact, inside the site, as well as many other collections,
it's possible to find the complete works, in Greek and/or Latin
text of many authors of the classic world; and every single
word of the original text has been grammatically analyzed
allowing the visitors, simply by clicking over it, to
receive detailed grammatical notes on every single word.
There are also many images of the classical artistic
heritage and the geographical references of all the most
important places of the classic age, with their history and
the images of many archaeological sites.
According to me one of the best sites (if not the best)
about the classic world.
