"At Christmas I managed to get hold of a Greek Testament, and every morning, after I had cleaned my cell and polished my tins, I read a little of the Gospels, a dozen verses taken by chance anywhere. (...) When one returns to the Greek; it is like going into a garden of lilies out of some, narrow and dark house."

Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

ELPENOR - Home of the Greek Word is our new project, built around a bilingual anthology of primary sources, from Homeric epics to modern Greek literature, including the complete New Testament.

Language pages feature free lessons in Ancient Greek, combining grammar with an attempt to understand the value of the texts and of language itself for our life today.

Complementary to these come a collection of testimonies of the Greek influence, an evaluation of currently available on-line study resources and a help section, which you can consult, if you are not able to write or read Greek on your computer.
