I take as my point of departure the activity of reading Homer in a print environment with a text, dictionary, and commentary, and then consider the added value of three electronic tools: the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG), a virtually complete archive of all ancient Greek textsthe Perseus Project, a bilingual text-and-dictionary web site that provides access to a large chunk of classical and Hellenistic Greek textsthe Chicago Homer, a specialized bilingual web site of Early Greek epic that will be published by the University of Chicago Press late in 2000 [1]What can you do with any electronic tool that you cannot do with a printed text and a dictionary?
