Some helpful and interesting web-sites
In addition to Dale Grote’s useful A Comprehensive
Guide to Wheelock's Latin,
which itself began as a web-site, there are a number of helpful
Latin web-pages devoted to helping students through the introductory stages
of the language. Here are a few
I recommend.
The Wheelock Page, by William Batstone of Ohio
State Univ., with help and self-tests by chapter: http://latin.gal.ohio-state.edu/wheelock.htm.
An excellent resource, linked to a more comprehensive Latin Page (http://latin.gal.ohio-state.edu/)
with even more help and useful sites, including an on-line Grammar and
a Latin Workshop page devoted to helping students make it through the
Intensive Latin course at Ohio—with more help and self-tests, etc.
Latin Dictionary and Grammar Aid by Lynn Nelson
and others: http://www.nd.edu/~archives/latgramm.htm
Latin Language Sites: http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/DIS/OHSICS/forlang/latin.htm.
Produced for the Fairfax County Public Schools, a very full list
of sites on the web devoted to Latin and Latin teaching; a great place
to browse. Includes listings for
sites that give computer terms in Latin, grammar aids, a Grammar Hotline,
a software directory for classicists, Latin teaching materials, and more,
as well as many major classics informational pages and links to classics
organizations.
Diotima: http://www.stoa.org/diotima/
Site devoted to materials for the study of women and gender in the ancient
world. A really extensive and
frequently updated site, full of texts (in Latin, Greek and English),
pictures, bibliographies (even for individual courses from all over the
U.S.), essays, links to archaeological and anthropological lists, and
more.
The Perseus Digital Library Project page: http://hydra.perseus.tufts.edu.
This is an amazing project, master-minded by Gregory Crane, that brings
together access to ancient texts, grammatical and translation helps, general
information about mythology and history of ancient Greece and Rome, and
photos and illustrations of ancient materials (vase-paintings, maps, statues,
coins, archaeological site-maps, and more).
From their statement: “Perseus is an evolving digital library, engineering
interactions through time, space, and language. Our primary goal is to
bring a wide range of source materials to as large an audience as possible.”
Allen and Greenough’s Latin Grammar: http://hydra.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/text?lookup=ag+gram.+toc
An on-line version of one of the standard Latin grammars, thanks to the
Perseus Project.
American Philological Association: http://www.apaclassics.org/
The webpage for the main U.S. national classicists’ association.
Contains links to regional groups’ pages, scholarly resources,
and other useful information.
Classical Association of the Atlantic States: http://www.caas-cw.org/
The webpage for the regional association of classicists—updated frequently,
and very informative!
