The free first thousand years of Greek

Abstract

This contribution describes the ideals, the history, the current procedures, and the funding of the in-progress Free First Thousand Years of Greek (FF1KG) project, an Open Access corpus of Ancient Greek literature. The corpus includes works from the beginnings (Homeric poetry) to those produced around 300 CE, but also standard reference works that are later than 300 CE, like the Suda (10th Century CE). Led by the Open Greek and Latin project of the Universität Leipzig, institutions participating in the FF1KG include the Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University Libraries, and the library of the University of Virginia.
