Texts

The corpus covers the Archaic Greek hexameter tradition: Homer, Iliad and Odyssey, and Hesiod, Theogony and Works and Days.

Scansion and metre

Syllable quantities and the hexameter foot parse are drawn from Hypotactic, re-parsed into the MoPSoS line and word schema.

  • Chamberlain, David. Greek and Latin Meter.

Syntactic and morphological annotation

Per-word morphology (and the syntactic parses behind it) is taken from the openly published Ancient Greek dependency treebanks:

  • Celano, Giuseppe G. A., Gregory Crane, Bridget Almas, et al. The Ancient Greek and Latin Dependency Treebank.
