What it does
LacusCurtius, hosted by the University of Chicago, brings together classical texts, translations and historical reference material about the ancient world.
Use the book index to find a reasonably complete text rather than searching only the front page. Reference works can clarify a place or object encountered while reading. The maintainer marks some projects as incomplete, so distinguish a partial selection from a complete edition before citing it.
Watch out for
- Some texts and translation projects are incomplete
Best for
- Reading classical material with historical references
