User database: Aristophanes' Works (Greek)
Labor Day Special. I labored so you don't have to :) ...
This is my first attempt at doing something rather difficult. I have taken all the complete works of Aristophanes and tried to fit them into BibleWorks so that the line numbers match up with what you are used to calling verse numbers in BibleWorks. The trick is this: it's almost impossible sometimes to figure out which word(s) go to which line at times. I've done my best through using OCT, TLG, LSJ and other references to determine line breaks, but I'll admit that there are probably quite a few errors because of my guesses (which I will gladly correct as you make me aware of them :) )
The reason why I went to this effort is because even though the line numbers are antiquated (I can't even find out a definitive place for answers), they are used in citations and reference works. So until someone else comes up with a different reference scheme and changes all the entries in LSJ, these line numbers still have meaning and that is why I tried to follow them. :)
The texts are from this public domain edition:
Aristophanes. Aristophanes Comoediae, ed. F.W. Hall and W.M. Geldart, vol. 1 and 2. F.W. Hall and W.M. Geldart. Oxford. Clarendon Press, Oxford. 1907.
Birds, Ecclesiazusae and Thesmophoriazusae were taken from Perseus Digital Library.
