Ancient Library – 1,060 Greek/Latin texts, click any word to parse it
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
AncientLibrary.net offers 1,060 Greek and Latin texts with clickable word parsing and dictionary lookups.
The site hosts 293 Latin and 767 Greek works from 140 authors, covering epic, lyric, tragedy, comedy, history, philosophy, and more. Clicking any word shows its lemma, morphology, and full dictionary entry from Lewis & Short (Latin) or Liddell-Scott-Jones (Greek). Texts are organized by genre, with browseable A-Z index and dedicated pages for each category, including biblical and early Christian writings.
What commenters are saying
Several commenters compare the site to Perseus Digital Library and its successor Scaife, noting Perseus is end-of-life and Scaife is slow. One creator of NoDictionaries shares their parallel project. Multiple usability issues are raised: font display (V rendered as U, Greek grave accents showing as separate letters), punctuation spacing, enclitic -que splitting, and difficulty closing popups. Suggestions include bolding word meanings, adding vowel lengths, sorting by date, and improving load speed. A hobbyist classicist describes integrating LLMs and text-to-speech for personal study.
