Classics in Context
A browsable library of Greek and Latin literature, pairing public-domain translations with passage-level context for readers without classical training.
Field notes
The project combines complete public-domain translations with passage-level alignment to named Greek or Latin editions, allowing contextual notes to appear beside the text they explain. Its homepage reports 13 collections, 30 works, 1,251 annotated passages, and 104 places mapped by hand. The notes cover practical and historical details such as prices, household arrangements, legal disputes, travel, and translation choices. The site states that all 11,399 notes were written by a language model and have not been reviewed by a specialist.
