A library for the study
of the classical world.

Homer and the tragedians, Plato and Aristotle, the Stoics and Epicureans.

The Greco-Roman world gave the West much of its literature, philosophy and religious imagination. This section follows the classical canon from Homer and Hesiod through the Athenian tragedians to Plato and Aristotle, then onward to the Stoic and Epicurean schools carried into Rome by Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and Lucretius. Texts link to the Perseus Digital Library and the Internet Classics Archive, both free. You will also find leading Classics journals, major university departments, ongoing digital projects such as Perseus and Papyri.info, and a Community page with job boards, fellowships at the American and British Schools at Athens, conferences and public-facing societies.
