Description
Diogenes is a free, open source tool for searching and browsing the databases of ancient texts, primarily in Latin and Greek, that were once published on CD-ROM by the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae and the Packard Humanities Institute. These databases, which must be acquired separately, include the TLG (up to disk version E), the PHI corpus of Latin texts up to AD 200, the Duke Documentary Papyri collection, and the PHI-sponsored corpora of ancient inscriptions.
The Diogenes Desktop Application
The classic version of Diogenes is an application that you can install on your desktop and laptop; it has been in existence for over 20 years. Once downloaded, it does not require a connection to the Internet and provides the user with full morphological analysis and lexica for Latin and Greek. Version 4 (released 2019) marked a major update.
DiogenesWeb
This is a new web-based version of Diogenes that runs in your browser; unlike the desktop application, it does require an Internet connection. It aims to provide similar functionality to the Diogenes desktop application, but with an interface optimized for handheld devices.
