Useful tool to study ancient texts and languages.
Diogenes is the ideal application for those people that really like
ancient languages. It is a tool to browse and search through databases of ancient texts, specially in Latin and Greek.
Per default it includes eight different
databases, even though it also offers the possibility to import other databases we are interested in. Among those that are used by
Diogenes we have to highlight some like Perseus or TLG (
Thesaurus Linguae Graecae).
With
Diogenes we will be able to receive help about the morphology of a word, its translation, check in dictionaries and we will also be able to check
passages in ancient texts. We will simply have to choose which type of search we are going to perform (a word in the dictionary, a morphology check), choose the database and input the search. With these steps, the program will offer us all the information that it finds regarding this.
This tool can come in very handy if you are studying Latin or Greek, as it will help you to understand sentences and words in these ancient languages.
