	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Loeb Renovates Classical Literature Series
		The green-colored Greek and red-colored Latin works from the Loeb Classical Library are, in fact, among the latest renovations of the 86-year-old classical literature series.
		What may attract attention and raise pulse rates, however, is that the latest re-translations in the Loeb series, which are published in both their original language (either Greek or Latin) and English, are more sexually explicit and easier to understand than the older texts they replace.
		Classics concentrator Jennifer T. Stager '00 pointed out that while she was "in favor of making the translation more faithful to the original text, you have to concede something to the social context of the reader, who may or may not belong to that of the author."

		This was a series sponsored by James Loeb, a Harvard-educated American banker who loved classics and the arts and had amassed a fortune before retiring to Munich in 1905 to seek relief from his continuing psychiatric problems.
		Loeb died in 1933, emblazoned with honorary degrees.
		Since this series obviously made life far too easy for schoolboys, Loebs were kept out of the school library, presumably for the use of Sir alone in the privacy of his own bedroom.

	CNN.com - Publisher uncensors Greek and Roman classics - August 21, 2000
		But in 1989 Loeb was taken over by Harvard University Press and its once proudly old-fashioned catalogue, those small red or green volumes found in "classics" sections of bookstores, is being updated.
		But Loeb's turnaround is the most noteworthy, both because of its stuffy tradition and because it has the most extensive collection of English-language translations of the Greeks and Romans.
		Even in the old versions, the Loeb books were a guilty pleasure among classicists, who enjoyed the convenience of having the original texts and the English translations printed side by side.

	The Iliad: Volume II, Books 13-24 (Loeb Classical Library No. 171) by Harvard University Press
		However, it is useful because if I read a passage from the Loeb, it forces me to realize what is wrong with it, so in a backwards way I have a better understanding of Homer because I know what is wrong with the Loeb and why the Lattimore is closer to accuracy.
		Many Loeb volumes were originally issued in the early part of the twentieth century (the series was started in 1911) and so those which have not been updated can sound stilted to modern ears.
		The accuracy of the translation of the Greek in the line by line fashion characteristic of the Loeb classics is invaluable to those interested in reading at least parts of Homer in classical Greek.

	Classics are Uncensored
		What’s merely awkward for Fulton would have horrified the founders of the Loeb Library which began in 1910 and for generations bowdlerized the ancient Greeks and Romans.
		But in 1989, Loeb was taken over by Harvard University Press and its once proudly old-fashioned volumes found in “classics” sections of bookstores, is being updated.
		“Classics professors were always sharing stories about Loeb, saying, ‘You wouldn’t believe how they translated this.’ There was a kind of pool of knowledge of all the silliness,” Marin said.

	Annotation Help
		The Loeb classics on the CD (such as Appian's "Roman History") use this system.
		The Loeb books are page for page translations and what you see on the greek side is translated into english on the opposite (following) page.
		The works in plain text (html) were on the most part stripped of the annotation system by those responsible for scanning them since there are differences among the different translators' numbering systems.

		SM: The man behind all this, John Clay, wanted to model the series on the Harvard Loeb Classics to such a degree that he actually went to find out who the original printer was.
		He wanted the trim size to be like the Loeb, and he'd actually talked to people at Harvard University Press beforehand to see whether they had any problem with his replicating the Loeb look.

		Like all Loeb Classics, this edition is presented with the ancient greek text on the left page, and its english translation on the right, giving students of classical greek an easy cross-reference.
		The translations are easy to read and not too difficult to comprehend, while still at the same time accurately rendered (unlike many Loeb translations, which are frequently too literal a translation to be readable).
		Sometimes when consulting the Loeb Library for a translation of a greek text one finds a version wildly different than the original.

		Recovery of some of the texts has been complicated by the poor condition of the rolls, awaiting the advent of modern technology and some clever deductions about how to put the papyri fragments back together for the present translations to proceed.
