moobloom supremacy

Propércio e o Amor.

I've been meaning to make a new pinned post for this blog with a few resources etc. for a million years and now I'm procrastinating so here it is.

Link to old pinned post (articles about racism and white supremacy in classics) here. I highly recommend checking it out.

Under the cut you will find a list of resources that I have found invaluable. Please put your own in the replies and reblogs!

PHI.pakhum.org has nearly all ancient Greek inscriptions that have been published before 2005ish- it's constantly updating but not super fast. It has lists of bibliographies and accordances of the inscriptions as well and the most basic metadata like findspot date etc. Largely based on the Inscriptiones Graecae corpora. the inscriptions are grouped per region and then per corpus.

attic inscriptions online has a huge collection of inscriptions from Athens and Attica with a wealth of metadata and a short overview of the scholarship/debate for every inscription. It also publishes regularly on inscriptions in private and public collections in the UK. All inscriptions are both in greek and translation and it has several toggles for interpretation like where words have been inferred where other symbols occur on the stone etc etc.

CGRN is the collection of greek ritual norms, a database of inscriptions that list cultic regulations, including sacrificial calenders, religious laws, festival procedures and so forth. provides commentary, bibliography and translation.

also a personal favourite, but iconographic rather than epigraphic: the Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC), a lexicon of all artworks depicting mythological figures, ordered per character in alphabetical order. Each lexicon volume (so for example the volume that treats everyone from eros to herakles) comes in two books, one with the listings, data and commentary and one with pictures (not every listing is depicted, but many are). the print versions (that i prefer for flipping through) can be found alltogether on archive and there's also a digitized service platform, DASCH, though it's interface is a bit tricky and still faulty. DASCH however links the LIMC to other databases like the ancient monument database (i think?) and the beazley archive for pottery depictions.

me: yeah whatever. i don't feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude i swear i just saw the devil under the table with the material evidence
