General Resources

Texts

• Greek Philosophy Archive, a good site where one can find txt files of the works of Plato and Aristotle, along with those of Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Plotinus.
• MIT Internet Classics Archive, has a range of classical texts including a number of philosophical authors as both html and txt files.
• Perseus Project (with a UK mirror site at the University of Oxford), an excellent site where students can find texts by Plato and Aristotle in both English and Greek, jump between the two at any point in the text, jump to passages by using Stephanus or Bekker references, and look up Greek words via hyperlinks to an on-line lexicon. The Greek texts are available in transliteration or in Greek (use SGreek Font and visit the Perseus 'Configure Display' page).
• The Fathers of the Church, a substantial collection of early Christian texts, many of which are relevant to the study of ancient philosophy.
• Early Church Fathers, based upon the printed volumes The Ante-Nicene Fathers and The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, this site includes numerous texts, including many works by Augustine.

Encyclopedia

• The Internet Encycopedia of Philosophy (IEP), already contains a number of helpful articles devoted to ancient philosophy and more are on their way (the quickest way to find entries on ancient philosophy is via the Timeline). It looks set to become a very useful resource.
• Stanford Encycopedia of Philosophy (with a UK mirror site at the University of Leeds), has, to date, fewer articles than the IEP currently available, but it looks set to become a significant work of reference for the future. Contributions are, in general, invited from established scholars and forthcoming contributions will include Richard Kraut on Plato, Anthony Long on Epictetus, David Sedley on Lucretius, and Lloyd Gerson on Plotinus. It may well be worth checking the Stanford Table of Contents occasionally to watch its progression.
• MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, based at the University of St Andrews, which include entries on a number of ancient philosophers.

Study Aids

• The Archelogos Project based at the University of Edinburgh. This site is designed to offer analyses of the philosophical arguments in the works of Plato and Aristotle and includes contributions from a number of well-known scholars in the field. These take the form of detailed section by section commentaries on individual works. Some of these commentaries are already available, while many others are forthcoming.
• Plato's Apology: A Hypermediated Learning Environment, a site at Drexel University based around Jowett's translation of the Apology, with accompanying essays, a glossary, and links to other online resources. The entire package can be downloaded in a zip file onto your own computer for use offline. The authors describe the project in an article: 'The Hypermediated Text', Teaching Philosophy 24/1 (2001), 45-61.
• The Last Days of Socrates, a site containing annotated texts and further resources "designed to help first year philosophy students read the Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and the death scene from the Phaedo".
• Exploring Plato's Dialogues, a helpful site including biography, texts, and bibliography.
• Ancient Rhetoric, a helpful collection of resources from Georgia State University.
• Concordance.com, a series of online concordances for a wide range of authors, including Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, and Augustine. These offer a very useful quick tool for tracking down passages in the readily available English txt files.
