Special Notice: As many of you noticed, the site was down for two weeks due to a disk failure and backup errors. Due to the kindness of Google and skill of Ken Haase of the MIT Media Lab, we've recovered the bulk of the texts (browse here). However, the search, comment, and trivia applications do not work, and will be out of service for some time. Please direct inquiries to classics@classics.mit.edu. Thank you for your patience.
