This review is from: Perseus 2.0: Interactive Sources and Studies on Ancient Greece (Mac or Windows PC) (CD-ROM)

Perseus is represents a major innovation in how to access information about the classical world. A collaborative effort developed by specialists who have taken pains to present vast stores of information usually only available in major museums or research libraries is now are accessible to any enterprising novice student. The heart of the Comprehensive Edition is the huge picture archive especially of sculpture and illustrated pottery that makes close study of visual and textual sources. The Concise Edition provides the full textual and interactive resources but only provides thumbnails of the picture library this can inhibit serious study of the visual record. This work is an indispensable tool for any serious study of Classic Greek culture and history. The variety of approaches to linking the content makes Perseus an effective interactive teaching tool. And research resource that exhibits the fuller potential of multimedia.
