Coming Attractions

Here are some things I hope to add to this site as I find the time:

  • The complete corpus of Senecan tragedy, with select apparatus criticus in the same format as Juvenal and Claudian. All ten tragedies are formatted, but I'm still adding the apparatus.
  • The rest of Claudian, starting with De Raptu Proserpinae. As with Seneca, it's just a matter of making up my mind about the constitution of the text and apparatus. Individual books will be announced here when they appear.
  • The list of Forthcoming Texts needs a complete overhaul, adding new projects and subtracting those that have been published.
  • I hope to experiment with recorded texts: users would be able to read the text while listening to an MP3 recording of it. Latin texts would be interesting, but Greek with the pitch accents even more so: I'm thinking of Iliad 1-7, Sophocles' Pollą tą Deinį chorus, and Aristotle's Hymn to Virtue to start with. Possibly to end with, too, since a little pitch-accented Greek goes a long way. Of course, displaying the Greek properly is a problem: I don't know whether sound files can be linked to Adobe Acrobat files. I can always display the Greek as GIF or JPG files.
  • I have compiled a Latin crossword puzzle suitable for students who have finished the first six chapters of Ecce Romani. This will go up soon.

As before, suggestions are welcome and may be placed in the comments.
