Resources for the Internet Classicist

I've been meaning to make a new pinned post for this blog with a few resources etc. for a million years and now I'm procrastinating so here it is.

Link to old pinned post (articles about racism and white supremacy in classics) here. I highly recommend checking it out.

Under the cut you will find a list of resources that I have found invaluable. Please put your own in the replies and reblogs!

Dickinson College Commentaries: Latin and Greek grammars, word lists, and intermediate level commentaries on ancient texts.

Perseus Digital Library and Scaife viewer: absolute classic. Ancient texts and dictionaries. You can click a word in the text and see its potential functions and its definition in a few different dictionaries. also will let you view some texts side by side with an English translation.

philolog.us: literally just Lewis and Short, LSJ, and Slater dictionaries imported from Perseus, but with a really simple interface that makes it the easiest online dictionary to use if you just want to look up a word.

Logeion and Morpho: Logeion lets you look up a word in Latin or Greek and see it in a ton of different dictionaries at once. Morpho will tell you all the possible forms for any given word.

Diogenes Viewer: app that basically does what Perseus does except you can download it. There's a web version with open source texts but to get the full benefit you need to have both the app and the TLG and PHI Greek and Latin text databases downloaded. Send an ask off anon if you want more information about those.

Haverford Bridge: vocab lists for selected texts. There's also a page with the tools they use to generate the lists so you can make your own.

johnstoniatexts: texts that Ian Johnston has translated and put online for free. It doesn't have everything but it has kind of a mind-boggling amount considering everything on here is translated by one person. The translations tend to be a little wordier than I prefer but it's still my first stop when I'm looking for easily accessible translations to recommend to people because I know they're fairly recent and reasonably well-done.

Geoffrey Steadman: free early intermediate level commentaries in Latin and Greek. If you use them and have the means please consider giving him a couple dollars!

PHI Latin Texts: lots of Latin with word + author search functions.

theoi.com: theoi has source material in translation for a number of gods and mythical figures. They don't have everything but if you're looking for every story with x god it's usually a decent place to start.

Intermediate Ancient Greek Language: free open source Greek textbook covering Greek in more detail than your intro textbook/course.

This list is not comprehensive and I will probably keep adding to it!

Also if you're looking for anything feel free to send an ask and I'll see if I can find it and/or poll the masses (everyone following this blog). Anon is off at least until I'm done with finals but if you ask to have it answered privately I'll honor that.

[heavensenthale]

you know what? fuck it *reads the fanfic I spent hours writing for my own enjoyment*

[wynnyfryd]

if you’re not rereading your own 3yo one-shots every once in a while so you can shake your head at the ao3 tab and mutter god i’m fucking funny then what are we even doing all this work for?

[9in-gavin]

an android taking a human pregnancy test as a joke but the test is positive

[gavinisqueer]

Gavin: I know this one, it means you have prostate cancer.

Connor: I don't have a prostate???

[noodles-07]

asking for praise for a thing you made feels so humiliating like oooh look at me I’m a little animal and I did a trick and made a thing can I have pets and treats about it. and then somebody tells you it’s good and you understand why golden retrievers are the way they are

[meanao3thoughts]

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

[authorchariot]

to the people who interact with my stuff on here and ao3; thank you ily so much 🌼✨️

[9in-gavin]

I keep forgetting Detroit is a video game and not a universe centered around 2 gay characters where one of them has 5 seconds screen time no dialogue while the other is solely used for the sake of being hated and in the way

[gavinisqueer]

There's a video game?

[faxaway]

stay a little longer

[nablastria]

「Sunrise over Jericho」

headcanon: if Jericho was never attacked, then the RKs would just talk all night by the control room and watch sunrise together uwu

[nock-and-bolt]

Aw this is super cute and crazy good art

[iyzlime]

A tiny fragment of life

[iyzlime]

Machines don’t feel.

[brighteststarinthesky]

The smoke from his cigarette whirled in strange patterns. Ashes spotted the table but he didn’t care. Each breath burned a little more than the previous one, and he could’t tell if it came from the smoke or the pain. 

It was constant, always nudging at the back of his mind. At work, in the car, even when he was joking around with Tina. A never ending feeling of loneliness and suffering. Sometimes it ebbed away but it was never truly gone. 

Gavin inhaled, the tip of the cigarette lighting up. The only other source of light in the room with the open window. It briefly washed his face in a warmth he only felt when he let the rage consume him. It happened more often than he would have liked to admit but he’d learned a long time ago that anger was easier to deal with than pain. So he buried it, deep deep inside. 

But sometimes, on quiet nights like tonight, the pain came forth. He’d only let his guard down for a short moment, nothing more than a few seconds but it’d been enough. 

Enough to let a memory come back. And it came back with a vengeance. With all the pain, and all the betrayal he tried so hard not to think about. 

He exhaled, his breath shaking from the tears he was so desperate to hold back. If anyone’d been there to ask he would have said it was shaking from the cold. Even here, in the emptiness of his kitchen, he could not bring himself to let go. Even here, in the loneliness of his home, he refused to let himself cry over him. 

To think he’d open up. To a fucking machine. How could he have been so stupid. He should have known better. Known better than to open up on it. Known better than to expect it to go well. Known better than hoping someone would fucking care about him for a change. He should have –

’’Shit !’’ he hissed, his fingers burned by the last ambers of his cigarette. 

Maybe it was the burn, or the soothing effect of the smoke, but he’d snapped out of the dark spiral of thoughts he’d been slipping into. 

Putting down the butt in the overflowing ashtray, he got up and headed for his room. He didn’t want to think anymore. He felt so drained he knew he’d fall asleep in a blink. 

He just hoped he wouldn’t dream of those sweet lips, the comfort they’d brought at times, or the cruel, violent words he now knew they could utter.
