Lectrix is a powerful online tool designed to help students read Greek and Latin texts in the original language by providing them with all the information required actively to understand a text at the click of a mouse, including commentaries, dictionary, parser and translation.

Four Greek and four Latin texts are on offer. The main focus of the interface is on the text, which is complemented by a range of study tools including a dictionary, a grammatical parser, an English translation, basic and advanced commentaries, and a library of web pages with background material on grammar and context.

• Clicking on any word within the text will bring up entries in the dictionary and parser windows.
• A separate pane will display a basic commentary written specifically for and unique to Lectrix.
• A more advanced commentary, taken from the relevant volume of the Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics series, is also available.
• Each is accessed through a separate pane and is keyed to the text in the same way as the dictionary and parser.
• A further window provides a newly commissioned English translation, again unique to Lectrix.
• The user can decide how many windows they wish to have open at any one time.

Used together, these extensive integrated resources form a powerful tool for the teaching, understanding and analysis of ancient texts.
