Public Domain Translations
Tuesday September 19, 2006
If you're looking for a translation of the Odes of Horace, the tragedies of Aeschylus, Tao Te Ching, the philosophical works of Plato and Aristotle, and more, you can find them on this A-Z of ancient texts, most of which are in the public domain: Classical Texts, Literature, Primary Sources, Public Domain Translations, and Ancient History Texts.

While we’re on the subject, does anyone know what’s happening with LATO? Nothing seems to have changed on it since a note dated June 2005 from Peter Gainsford saying that he was thinking of moving the site to a new address. I’ve sent a couple of emails to him over the past six months or so, but never had any replies, while he was always very good about replying before.
Thanks for mentioning this. I don’t remember seeing LATO before. It has Greek text in a Greek font. I didn’t look at too much, but it seems to be working.
Oh, it’s working OK. It just seems to have gone dormant, while to be useful a site like that needs frequent updates as new translations appear and old links go dead.
