Other Locally Hosted Resources

• Vocabulary lists made with the Perseus vocabulary builder (note: these are extremely large web pages, which you may wish to save on your hard drive):
  • 80% vocab. list (Knowing a quarter of the total vocabulary of Books 1, 6, 19, and 23 will cover 80% of the words that make up those books. Drag each word's "Autenrieth" link to a new window for a concise definition from a Homeric dictionary.)
  • 90% vocab. list (Knowing half of the books' total vocabulary will cover 90% of the words. This list, therefore, is twice as long as the preceding one.)
