Greek and Latin Authors

This dataset contains the names of authors who primarily wrote in Ancient Greek (labeled "Greek") and authors who primarily wrote in Latin (labeled "Latin").

The Greek names were gathered from the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) project. Specifically, the TLG makes lists of authors openly available at https://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/tlgauthors/post_tlg_e.php and https://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/tlgauthors/cd.authors.php. These names were supplemented by names from the Perseus project.

I also obtained the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) ID numbers for many Greek authors from a database kept for the [Perseus Catalog](https://catalog.perseus.org/. I used the VIAF ID numbers to augment the list of Greek author names with the alternate name forms for those authors.

Unfortunately, the lists of Greek names included some names of authors who primarily wrote in Latin. For example, Cicero, Varro, Macrobius, Servius, and several others are in the Greek lists, presumably because they included some Greek text in their writings. For the purposes of this dataset, those authors have been labeled as "Latin".

The names for authors who primarily wrote in Latin come from the authority records in the Digital Latin Library's Catalog.
