LAGL Catalog of Authors and Works

This Catalog is part of the Linked Ancient Greek and Latin (LAGL) project and is populated with forms deriving from the linguistic extraction and annotation of expressions about authors and works in ancient Greek sources.

This is the first version of the Catalog, which shows data from the catalogs of the Digital Athenaeus and the Digital Harpocration projects. Forthcoming versions of the catalog will allow to search Greek forms and will be enriched with data from other sources, such as the works of Clement of Alexandria and the lexicon of the Suda.

Search Fields

• Author name: author name in the Latinized form according to the TLG Canon and the Perseus Catalog (e.g., Xenophon).
