Perseus Search

Perseus Search uses AI for linguistic analysis of Ancient Greek words, providing grammatical details, Beta code, and integration with the Perseus Digital Library for Attic Greek research. Attic Greek, the dialect of Athens in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, was the prestige language due to Athens' dominance and its role in democracy, law, and administration, offering grammatical flexibility that facilitated Western philosophy and science. It evolved into Koine Greek, the trade language after Alexander the Great's conquests, and became the medium for the Septuagint and New Testament, with most Classical Greek literature written in this dialect, shaping our understanding of ancient history and Christianity.
