Short Description

The Daidalos project develops a research infrastructure for digital Classical Philology. The aim is to enable low-threshold access to digital research methods for Latin and Greek texts. Researchers can analyze their own corpora using the software and independently train themselves in using the tools. The infrastructure supports universities in sustainably establishing digital research methods in Classical Philology.
