An experiment on the development of a digital edition for ancient Greek fragmentary poetry: A case study on Archilochus of Paros

This paper overviews ongoing experiments on a digital edition of Archilochus which is based on the readings, translations and comments by Nicolosi [1] and also integrates feedback and requirements from the Digital Classics community. The experiment encompasses a few fragments of the poet of Paros, so as to provide a mock-up of the prototype for evaluation by its intended end-users, in view of developing a fully fledged digital edition. The mock-up provides the philologist with a set of resources and tools that ease a critical appraisal of the text.
