Online Resources for Homeric Studies at CHS

Online Resources for Homeric Studies at CHS
The Center for Hellenic Studies offers students and scholars of Homer a particularly deep selection of publications and resources–all freely available online at chs.harvard.edu:

The Homer Multitext Project

The Homer Multitext project, the first of its kind in Homeric studies, presents the textual transmission of the Iliad and Odyssey in a historical framework. It offers free access to a library of texts and images, a machine-interface to that library and its indices, and tools to allow readers to discover and engage with the Homeric tradition.

Online Publications

If you have not done so already, we recommend that you review our Introduction to Online Publications.
The CHS website has other scholarly publications not listed here. See especially the the journal Classics@, which features dynamic issues on topics such as the Epic Cycle, and the Homerizon Conference.
