Perseus Texts Elsewhere


The Perseus Project is one of the great Web projects. In 1998 began to charge for access. This page was an effort in 1998 tol try, to keep a running account of alternate sources for the texts, either originals or translations, on the Perseus site. Thankfully the Perseus Project is now openly accessible and this list is not needed (or updated). This pahe can then be considered to be archived/
