Alpheios News

The Alpheios Project should like to announce the availability of sentence diagrams for selections from book one of Ovid's Metamorphoses, the entire Iliad and Odyssey, five of the plays of Aeschylus, the Theogony and Shield of Heracles of Hesiod and the Ajax of Sophocles. We hope to be able to provide several more plays of Sophocles and examples of diagrammed prose in both Latin and Greek in the near future, beginning with Plato's Euthyphro.
 
  The diagrams have been fully integrated into the Alpheios tools and are available from an icon in the browser window. As always, the tools remain free and open source.
 
  Sentence diagrams are an invaluable tool for close study of a text as well as learning its language, and when collected into "treebanks" have become a basic resource for contemporary corpus linguistics.
 
  Creating sentence diagrams has proven to be pedagogically effective and popular with many students, and anyone interested in contributing their work to the ongoing project is encouraged to visit
