I wanted advice on tools and methodology, so I googled "classical research tools" and "classical research study guide". I perhaps found a few links worth posting:
There seems some agreement on tools in the study guides, but I thought that I might augment that knowledge by asking for the advice of experienced users here. For example, I'm more interested in meaning than language, so learning the language, while important, is perhaps less immediately productive than reading secondary sources. In Marshall's paper [
https://doi.org/10.1017/S007542691700012X], I noticed that she resorted to TLG (pdf p.4, footnote 20):
A TLG search for forms of μύωψ returns just two other instances of the word in fragmentary tragedies, but both of these are conjectures.
Thus far, I've found the Perseus 4 Hopper easier for me to use than TLG or Scaife Viewer, but perhaps only because I haven't read any user guides. I suppose that I'd like to know which tools do what best, so that I might better invest time learning their use to do what each does best. For example, at
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/tex ... tion%3D30e, by clicking "load" (upper right), I had parallel Greek and could click each Greek word to navigate to LSJ (and sometimes other) definitions. If other tools are more capable, I'd like to know, especially if they're open source. Perhaps I could avoid building the additional automation I want.
