• (29 August, 1996) There have been a number of changes (and we hope improvements) to the LSJ interface:
  • we now try to add indentation to show the hiearchical structure of the lexicon entries, making the longer entries much easier to read;
  • we now at last have begun to handle cross references to other words within the lexicon;
  • if you go from a Perseus Greek text into LSJ, all the citations from that author in the LSJ entry should be highlighted.
    Please send us feedback on these changes and, as always, report problems!
• (28 August, 1996) Download a new version of Pandora along with Perseus Tk d1. We now have a working version of Pandora that works with both Windows and the Mac, as well as corrects some known problems of existing pandora.

Searching individual authors can be much faster -- a search of Galen took less than one minute on our PowerMac.

Highlights include: 1) the ability to input Greek in "Latin transliteration" as well as in Beta code; 2) the ability to input oisete to search for pherô; 3) a major rewrite of the words in proximity search to make it somewhat easier to use; 4) an entire new front end to the Greek word search program allowing you to view the paradigm of a verb (e.g., take a look at pherô in Plato) or to search for individual words by grammatical category (e.g., look for forms of pherô in the optative).

• (27 March, 1996) Try the live site plans of the Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi and the City of Athens.

Look for links to these plans at the bottom of site descriptions (e.g. Athens).
• (13 March, 1996) More "improvements" to the philological tools: we can now deal with much longer lists of words. Try looking for all Greek words that end in -sis. These tend to be abstractions and you can use the word frequency tool to see which authors tend more towards such jargony words. Greek Morphology is moderately ambiguous but the rough totals supplied are a useful starting point for further work.

• Sir James Frazer's summary of Greek mythology, with links to Apollodorus' Library Don't let the title fool you! This is an ancient Greek handbook of mythology. It also has the translation and extensive notes by Sir James Frazer (of the Golden Bough). The notes represent ideas about mythology that few (if any) still pursue, but the references to other ancient sources (many of them online on this Web site) are outstanding. If you are interested in the main versions of a Greek myth, Apollodorus and Frazer's notes are the place to start.
