The Top Twenty-One Classics Websites (updated 10 June 1999)
-
Diotima - materials for the study of women and gender in the ancient world. This is a superb resource.
-
Internet Classics Archive - offers 375 works by 30 classical authors, in English translation, browsable and supported by a search engine
-
Perseus Project, The - detailed searchable library of texts, translations, art and archaeology of Ancient Greece and Rome. Better than the CD ROM version in many ways - it includes some Latin authors, and special projects, such as the Olympics. Many of the vase images, however aren't available online.
-
American Classical League - source for teaching materials. US slant, obviously.
-
Ancient Source - essays, maps and notes covering Rome (133BC-14AD) and Greece (490BC-403BC). A lot of the essays could be ideal "crib" material - best the teacher knows about them first!
-
Bryn Mawr Classical Review Index for all articles published in this journal over the last ten or so years. Amazing resource.
-
Classical Myth: The Ancient Sources - from the University of Kentucky at Lexington. Good basic information
-
Classics Alcove - links to journals, texts, databases, discussion groups, images, software, teaching resources and more.
-
Classics and Mediterranean Archaeology. Check out any site you can think of.
-
Classics Page at Ad Fontes Academy - library of texts in Latin from Cicero to Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Save time and effort in typing out passages - it's all here.
-
Classics Pages - information, games, pictures, and controversy about the life, literature, art, philosophy and archaeology of the ancient world of Greece and Rome. My own site!

-
Online dictionaries for more languages than you could shake a stick at
-
The Bulfinch Mythology SiteMy personal favourite, run by Bob Fisher. It all grew out of a project to publicise a musical version of Medea in 1996!
- Backpackers' Guide to Greece
This is Dave Webb's comprehensive guide to the archaeological sites in Greece, with particular emphasis on out-of-the way and little visited places, such as Perachora, Aegosthena, Eleutherae. Each site comes with a very full bibliography, and includes hints and tips for the traveller. The essential site to visit before you go to Greece (and again when you get home - to check up on what you missed!)
The Classics Pages are written and designed by Andrew Wilson.
