Accessibility of Scholarship

We believe ancient texts should be available and intelligible to all. Our project offers clear, contextualised access to the Iliad manuscript through readable annotations, multilingual support, and approachable explanations for academic tools and terms.

Honouring the Text’s Journey

Every editorial and technological decision is documented and made visible. From text encoding in TEI-XML to stylistic reconstructions across time periods, we invite users to explore how the Iliad could have looked and read throughout the centuries.

Learning Through Exploration

Learning should be immersive. That's why we offer an interactive archive where users can toggle between versions, compare changes, and dive into the linguistic, historical, and visual richness of Homer’s enduring text.
