"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:

• February 3 2008: I have further updated the Delectus Indelectatus based on suggestions and comments sent to me by Tarik Wareh.
• January 7 2008: I have updated the Delectus Indelectatus with five new poems. I also converted it to unicode and shuffled some of the original poems around a bit to get better page layout.
• November 15 2007: thanks to the kind help and permission of his son, Václav Pinkava, who sent me the Greek manuscript of the entire thing, I can present the opening lines to Jan Křesadlo's Astronautilia.
• November 11 2007: Theocritus 13: Hylas and to go with it, a transcription of the scholia on it.
• August 19 2007: some elegiacs, Archilochus 13.
• August 6 2007: More Pindar, Isthmian 2, the first new work using the new house style. The fonts are much nicer, but somewhat inflate the size of the PDFs.
• June 11 2007: More work from Senhor Laschuk: first, Os Trabalhos e os Dias de Hesíodo, 504-535. And in English, a brief and cynical bit of Menander, fragment 614.

I welcome email with comments, suggestions and criticisms, as well as offers of relevant articles and web links.
