Eulogikon is a free, open library and archive of ancient Greek texts. Read them online or download them as PDFs. No logins, no subscriptions, no fees.
What is here
The collection runs from the earliest surviving poetry to the late antique schools. Epic and lyric. Philosophy and history. Medicine, mathematics, geography, rhetoric, drama.
Homer and Hesiod stand at the beginning. Plato and Aristotle are present in full. The Presocratics, the Stoics, and other fragmentary traditions appear as they actually survive: dispersed, quoted, uneven. The Epicureans and Neoplatonists stand alongside historians, orators, poets, physicians, and mathematicians.
What is included is what has come down to us. Complete works where they survive. Fragments where they do not. Preserved in the form transmission has left them. Texts can be browsed by school and tradition where this helps trace historical streams of thought.
The Greek
The Greek is not altered. What is removed is material that does not belong to the language: intrusive editorial scaffolding, formatting imposed by print technology, non-Greek apparatus that interferes with reading and reuse. Where nineteenth-century scholarship established reference systems still needed for citation and comparison, these remain for now. A replacement is being worked out.
Reading and downloading
Each text is provided in clean Unicode Greek, with consistent formatting and a font designed for polytonic display. Texts can be read online or downloaded for offline use. Every text in the library is available as a free PDF.
Who this is for
Students. Scholars. Independent readers. Anyone interested in the language. Rather than searching across dozens of sites and editions, Eulogikon offers a single place to read archaic, classical, and Hellenistic Greek texts as texts. One library. Built for reading, sharing, and discussion.
Eulogikon is a voluntary, not-for-profit project with no funding sources. Public domain texts, freely available forever.
The direction
The aim is simple and difficult: Greek texts in Greek, with as little else as possible in the way.
We are not there yet. That is the direction.
