using Perseus to read NT

I’m at the beach right now–we live in Florida (USA) which has a very long coastline. I left the printed books at home( NT Greek text, NT lexicon, Greek lexicon, grammars, Mastronarde). I’m working with Perseus, which goes pretty well.

Perseus after a click gives me lexicon entries on the word clicked. Besides that, translations in both Latin and English are conveniently available. The Latin translation is pretty easy, even for me, and Jerome often translates Greek participles into Latin participles, which is very helpful. In fact, checking the Greek against another inflected language seems to help.

The only thing I’m missing is a compressed set of paradigms, like Morwood’s in his Greek grammar. Mastronarde has a very big set of paradigms online, but I find it too much for easy reference.

Here’s what Perseus looks like on Acts, Ch. https://tinyurl.com/nth6c9ws

Hi Hugh,
If you use Logeion, you can access their Morpho application up in the right hand corner, which will give you a large number of attested forms for a given word, not all, but those that appear in the “corpus”. What works comprise the corpus I’m afraid I don’t know, but it’s still useful for reading Greek at the beach! Here’s the URL:
https://logeion.uchicago.edu/lexidium

I too was on the beach today, but it was 8°C and I had four layers on. Not that I’m jealous.

Helma Dik’s “Nifty Greek Handouts” are true to their name https://classics.uchicago.edu/people/helma-dik/nifty-greek-handouts

Can I also recommend using the University of Chicago mirror of Perseus. It doesn’t have the Latin but the parser is better and it links directly to Logeion entries. http://artflsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/perseus/citequery3.pl?dbname=GreekDec20&getid=0&query=NT%20Acts

Just in case, I have recently arranged Machen’s NT Greek Grammar in website format, paradigms included. Here is the link: https://www.vasilestancu.ro/lessons-paradigms.html.

Many thanks for the tips, Sean! It’s very helpful to hear about these sites.

That is a very helpful presentation of the paradigms, Vasile!

I am glad to hear that; thank you…
