Tools for The Meters of Greek Drama Database Now Available


The John and Penelope Biggs Department of Classics and Arts & Sciences’ Humanities Digital Workshop are pleased to announce an update to the recently published Meters of Greek Drama database. In addition to recording, displaying, and allowing statistical analyses of all meters of Euripides’ Elektra, Hekabe, and Orestes, the database now includes links to various resources and repositories used to standardize the metrical data and to build the site. This update creates greater transparency for the processes behind the project, as well as creating opportunities for continued research in digital humanities by scholars and students at and beyond Washington University in St. Louis.
