Thesaurus Linguae Graecae

Consortium Luxembourg is pleased to announce the addition of Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) to the Consortium Luxembourg Portal.

Founded in 1972, the TLG represents the first effort in the Humanities to produce a large digital corpus of literary texts. Since its inception the project has collected and digitized most texts written in Greek from Homer (8 c. B.C.) to the fall of Byzantium in AD 1453 and beyond. Its goal is to create a comprehensive digital library of Greek literature from antiquity to the present era. TLG research activities combine the traditional methodologies of philological and literary study with the most advanced features of information technology.

The Online TLG contains more than 105 million words from over 10,000 works associated with 4,000 authors and is constantly updated and improved with new features and texts.

TLG can be found under the letter “T” in the “Find Database” tab or by clicking here.
