Diogenes

Diogenes is a super handy application that makes your work with ancient texts way easier. Imagine having a tool at your fingertips that lets you search and browse through tons of ancient documents in Latin and Greek! Pretty cool, right?

Easy Installation and User-Friendly Interface

The best part about Diogenes? It installs quickly and doesn't come with a bunch of confusing setup steps. You can jump right in without any hassle. Plus, it has a really clean and attractive interface. Everything is laid out nicely, so you won't have to search high and low for the tools you need.

Search Ancient Texts Effortlessly

This app connects you to databases published by the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae and the Packard Humanities Institute. With Diogenes, you can easily find specific words or phrases in ancient texts, making it perfect for scholars or anyone interested in classical literature.

Linking Tools for Deeper Understanding

One of the cool features is how it links Greek and Latin words to Perseus morphological analysis tools and dictionaries. If you want to dive deeper into any search result or citation from the dictionary, just click on it! It's super easy to get context on what you're studying.

A Familiar Web Browser Experience

Using Diogenes feels just like browsing the web! You can look up terms, navigate through texts, view them right in your browser, and even copy-paste snippets into other applications when needed.

Customizable Options for Everyone

The default settings show Greek text as Unicode. But if you need different formats like WinGreek or LaTeX, no problem! You can customize how Greek appears based on what works best for you.

Advanced Search Features

If you're looking for something more specific, Diogenes makes complex searches easy too. Want to find two or more words in a certain sentence or paragraph? Just use spaces to separate them! You can also filter searches by genre or date when using TLG.

Flexible Output Settings

You have control over input modes and output encodings as well. Want to change font styles or decide how much context appears with your searches? It’s all possible with Diogenes!
