    Homer Multitext Project

    The Homer Multitext project, the first of its kind in Homeric studies, presents the textual transmission of the Iliad and Odyssey in a historical framework. It offers free access to a library of texts and images, a machine-interface to that library and its indices, and tools to allow readers to discover and engage with the Homeric tradition. Updates on the project are available via the Homer Multitext blog. Additional information is available here. To view the available papyri, select the manuscript browser below.
