quidquid bene dictum est ab ullo, meum est
This one has been making the rounds of the various Classical social media outlets … here’s how it was presented on the Classicists list:
The website ‘Catullus Online’ <www.catullusonline.org> has just opened. It comprises an online critical edition of the poems of Catullus, a repertory of conjectures, and high-resolution images of three of his most important manuscripts.
… if you’re studying and/or working with Catullus, this is a definite site to check out …
This was mentioned in the Classics International group … amazing interactive timeline:
This one was making the rounds last week in various places, so you might have seen it already, but if not, it’s definitely worth a look. It’s a visualization of Zeus’ Affairs (it’s actually a genealogy sort of thing) with the added value of tracking which source mentions what and when this or that story appears to have been popular … the instructions are a bit complicated, but it’s incredibly interesting:
This one is filling my email box and my various twitter feeds … a bit of the intro:
Inscriptions on stone are the most important documentary source for the history of the ancient city of Athens and its surrounding region, Attica. Dating from the 7th century BC through to the end of antiquity, Greek texts are available to scholars in Inscriptiones Graecae (IG) I (up to 403/2 BC) and II (after 403/2 BC) (website), updated annually by the Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum (SEG) (website), and in the Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) Greek Inscriptions website. However, until now, very few of the inscriptions have been available in English translation, whether in print, or online. This site is intended to rectify this situation, beginning in 2012 with the inscribed laws and decrees of Athens, 352/1-322/1 BC, of which new texts have recently been published as IG II3 1, 292-572.
You’ve probably seen this already scrolling by in the various Blogosphere posts about it … to excerpt Phil Harland’s email:
… users of the site can browse through hundreds of inscriptions (450 so far) involving guilds, immigrant groups, and other associations in the ancient Mediterranean. The user can browse by geography or by topics (including gods) using the right side bar. There is also a feature we called “selected exhibits” on (hopefully) interesting topics to a general reader (with about 10 inscriptions in each exhibit). There are many documents with English translations, and the user can choose to view just those (in selected exhibits). One of the selected exhibits is for Judeans (Jews) in the diaspora. The plan is to continue to expand the website with more inscriptions relating to these groups. There are already 100 inscriptions that do not appear in the sourcebook (marked with an asterisk).
… definitely useful
