Is there an online corpus of classical Greek texts available? I am
interested in something in some character encoding that allows me to use
grep to search all documents for similar phrases.
More specifically, is there some online database or repository that
contains the text (not scanned image, but transcribed text,
untranslated) of all extant Greek inscriptions, documents, records, and
literary works?
In my upcoming Bible studies, I'd love to be able to use the simple
GNU/Unix commands like "grep" and "awk" for finding similar constructs
and word usages in the classical literature.
Is there anything like that that a penniless student could access?
Specifically, I'm interested in comparing Bible phraseology and idiom
against Plutarch, Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon and the Odyssey. And
if there are any substantial works in koine, those would be nice too.
No doubt this is asking for the moon. As a second best, is there an
online etext of the LXX with Apocrypha, the NT, and the Apostolic
Fathers in some Greek character encoding so I can read them as they
were?
