CLASSICAL GREEK POETRY
Welcome to the Swarthmore
College Student's Guide to Classical Greek Poetry, a web research tool
designed to help students of the classics.
We've provided links to academic
databases and other Web publications, including some which contain the
classical texts themselves. Links to college and university classics departments
provide access to critical essays on various classical Greek works. Links
to associations for classical study provide even more information on research
being done in Greek poetry.
We've also compiled a collection
of art work which either represents or interprets themes from classical
Greek poetry.

We
made this web page to guide students through the many WWW resources for
classical scholars. Classics departments throughout the world have put
a lot of effort into establishing web pages, on-line databases, and compilations
of classical literature stored on and accessed by computer. They do this
primarily to facilitate research and communication in their discipline
- but also because the classics are increasingly marginalized in contemporary
academia. Few students choose to major in a discipline popularly characterized
as outdated, with nothing to contribute to the contemporary world. Fewer
still chosse to become professional academics in the classics. Because
classicists have worked hard to create a web presence - both to aid reserach
and to convince the world that their discipline isn't as dead as the
languaes they study - there are so many web resources for classicist that
students can have trouble finding the information that they need. We hope
that our page helps students find their way through the mass of existing
resources to the ones that have the information they need.
