These online databases are excellent sources for finding the original texts of ancient writings, and images of works of art and archaeological ruins, from ancient Greece and Rome and the neighboring cultures with which they came in contact.
Originally 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 their world.
This series was originally founded by James Loeb in 1911 to make available all the written works surviving from the ancient Greek and Roman world. Several new works and editions are added every year.
This database contains more than 2.5 million high-quality digital images that are freely available for educational and research use. Containing reproductions of a wide range of works of art and architecture from all times and places throughout the world, it is an excellent source in which to find images of buildings and works of art from ancient Greece and Rome and the neighboring cultures with which they came in contact.
In addition to reproductions of a wide range of works of art and architecture from all times and places throughout the world, this database also contains photographs and other images useful for study in many disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
This is perhaps the most important single free Web site in the field of classical studies. It supplies the text in Greek, Latin, and (often) English translation of the works of many ancient authors. It also provides the texts of more recent books on aspects of the ancient world, and thousands of pictures of art objects, sites, and buildings. If you do research on the ancient world on the free Internet, and don't check out the Perseus Digital Library, your research will simply be incomplete.
