Loeb Classical Library This link opens in a new windowOriginally founded by James Loeb in 1911 to make available all the written works surviving from the ancient Greek and Roman world, this database provides fully searchable, high-quality online editions of the original texts in Greek and Latin, with English translations facing them. This is an excellent place for finding the primary sources in which ancient authors told us about the scientific and technological achievements of their time. It is also an ideal source in which to find the original writings of ancient scientists that have survived to the present day.
