Happy to announce I built a Greek/English reader site with all the surviving plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, & Aristophanes.
Multiple translations for each play; click to parse & define for any Greek word; full Greek & English search.

“The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.”
— Johann Sebastian Bach
Me to my homeschooled son: You only translated 8 lines of Sophoclean Greek today? In the public schools they're doing 12-15 lines a day. You don't want to get left behind.
This only works because his biggest influences are writers from Eton during the Edwardian period.

The greatest poem ever written is the Iliad. There is simply no question. The only challenge for each reader, whenever and wherever, is to find their own route to seeing how and why that is the truth.
(It took me 22 years from first read.)
