The Corpus

Our literary corpus consists of 66 authors, up to the end of the Classical period, starting with Homer and Hesiod until Theophrastus (based on TLG chronology).

You can view the list of authors surveyed here.

Our epigraphic corpus includes Greek inscriptions up to the beginning of the Hellenistic period, namely dated earlier than 300 BCE. We include Early-Hellenistic inscriptions dated to the end of the 4th century, due to uncertain dating of many of them.
