Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG)

A research program at the University of California, Irvine. Founded in 1972 the TLG has collected and digitised most literary texts written in Greek from Homer (circa 8 BC) to the 19th century.

The Greek language's vast linguistic treasure can now be offered to anyone interested anywhere in the world. The TLG is the richest digital library of whole texts and words of the Greek language. This bank contains in digital form the complete literary works of ancient and byzantine times, allowing the user to read anything written in the language, from Homer to the end of the Middle Ages. Similar work undertaken by the Research Centre of Modern Dialects and Idioms (kendi.academyofathens.gr) has now been integrated in the TLG databases, extending the time horizon to our days. It includes everything written from 1800 until today (both everyday spoken and idioms) within and out with Greece. With a start year of 1933, there are until today 10 volumes published, until the end of the letter Δ.
