Loeb Classics Online

[Spurius Papirius Cursor]

Hi

Embarrassment if I’ve just noticed something everyone else knows about, but I just came across this online. Is it new? Assuming all the links work, this could be brilliant!

SUBSEQUENT EDIT / ADDENDUM:
Knew it was too good to be true - you can access a few pages then are told you've reached your limit and need to subscribe or log in (I assume, being a subscriber) to get more. Oh well...

well subscription is $150/yr first year and then $65/yr from the second year on, I would say not too expensive

Those with a limited wallet might prefer this free collection:

Most of these are Loeb Translations IIRC:

Francis, thank you very much!!! How has this has managed to elude me so long? Excellent.

Also thanks Evan. Thayer's site is an essential - and great to use, pages are 'unfussy', download fast, easy to search. Only problem is if you have to cite an author, you need details which Thayer doesn't provide (and, quite rightly so, otherwise he'd be republishing the books). But that means you have to get your hands on the original (or something near as dammit to it) and you're off to archive.org.

Speaking of archive.org, I can't make up my mind whether I like its new 'look' or not. You used to be able to trawl through bins of pdfs to see which ones had been ocr-scanned, which ones you preferred. Now you get a fancy page with one choice of each format. That said, the new reader seems much faster and (meter-wise) much cheaper to use than used be the case. I also like its little orange pointers when you search - the way they swoop down and you can navigate through a zillion of them but not miss any. Very clever.

Cheers
