"Aoidoi" is classical Greek for "bards," like Homer, or just "poets." This site is dedicated to the study of ancient Greek poetry from the Epics to Anacreontics. Most of the work is directed at producing versions of Greek poems with vocabulary, grammar and dialect notes for beginners.

New and notable:

• November 19 2009: Mimnermus 5.
• February 21 2009: Aoidoi.org now has a sibling site, Scholiastae.org.
• October 10 2008: a topical elegiac couplet from David Sansone, Palin Ode.
• July 14 2008: now, for something less archaic, Mesomedes 3: Hymn to Nemesis.
• July 6 2008: more elegiacs, this time from Solon. Two poems in a single document, Solon 9 & 11.
• July 4 2008: more Mimnermus, 12, "The toils of the sun".
