Classical surfing

A note on internet sources
I've given the sources I link to on this website the once-over, but only that, and users of the internet have to be even more careful than readers of printed material in evaluating their sources. Why? Click on the link.

The Ancient Word Web.
A very extensive set of links to sites about the ancient world (including parts of the world other than ancient Greece and Rome).

The Perseus Project.
This is the premier source of images, plans, and texts about the Greeks, and they've now begun to add some Roman stuff as well (especially Latin texts). Perseus can, however, take a bit of getting used to. Here's Perseus' collection of starting points to get you going.

One frustrating aspect: they want you (or, rather, SIUC) to buy a site license. And many museums don't want folks to have free access to their art online. So many images are not available on the web. The Perseus main art and archaeology page lists what's available and what's not.

Stoa.org is a collection of classical web projects, including the particularly fine demos site on Athenian democracy, a fine site dedicated to the Ancient City of Athens, an amazing collection of Quicktime movies of Ancient Greek cites, called Metis, and Diotima, a huge collection of texts, images, and links on the study of gender in the ancient world.

Classics list archives
Listen in on what a "select" group of classicists blabs about online.

TOCS-IN.
Sounds rather poisonous, but it's an excellent place to start if you want to do research on things classical: a searchable index to most recent articles written on classical topics.

The Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Timely online reviews of new books on classical topics. Sometimes they inspire authors to respond in a spirited vein.

rogueclassicism
A large compendium of resources put together by the indefatigable David Meadows, long one of the most active classicists on the net.

campusmawrtius (sic)
A blog run by Bryn Mawr graduate students in classics sporting, among other things, a grad school cheat sheet and a certain sense of humor.

blogographos
From the ancient historian, Debra Hamel author of the recent Yale University Press book Trying Neaira: The True Story of a Courtesan's Scandalous Life in Ancient Greece.

Classics in Contemporary Culture
"Reporting on sightings of continuing influences, perceived influences, and opportunistic abuses of ancient Greek and Roman cultures in the present"
