Dear all,
I would like to study by translating Latin/Greek side by side for same works. So I need collect some works that have both versions: Latin & Greek. Please show me website, or documents about them if you know
Currently, I have only these four works of both version:
Sincerely yours,
The easiest way to go might be the 19th c. editions published by Firmin Didot, Versioni latine di classici greci (con originale a fronte) – Serie fratelli Didot.
Apart from that, typing “graece latine” in Google Books should give some good results.
If Aesop doesn’t suit you you could try parts of the New Testament, unless you already know it in English translation. Or the Life of Aesop, a very interesting text. Either of them would give a better Greek/Latin pairing than Homer or Thucydides.
Dear MWH,
Oh, yes, I am sorry cause I forgot the NT - the easiest to approach online. However, I think that the language structure of NT - both Latin and Greek is relatively easy when comparing with classical works [If I am wrong, please help to show me]. I alreader mastered the basic grammar of both, now I need to enhance myself
I will try the life of Aesop
Thanks so much all brothers, happy to learn with you
Salvete !
Not long ago Amazon published a series of Greek classics with interlinear Latin translations. Here’s an example :
Editions are all in Kindle format, quite readable, and cheap. Homer, Hesiod, Aeshylus, Aristophanes, Sophocles, etc. are all available.

Hi. The best set for translating Latin to Greek and vice versa is ficino’s entire Latin translation of plato. 12 volumes were published between 1781 to 1787 by the bipont publishing House. I myself have a rare complete set but you could use Google books. I can send photos if this forum allows. It’s definitely the best. Regards
