Perseus Digital LibraryHosted by Tufts University, this is a growing digital library of resources for studying the ancient world; materials include texts and translations, philological tools, maps, and well illustrated art catalogs.

Librarian's Comment: The Perseus Project includes several of its own search engines that provide access to information not covered by Hippias, including standard Greek editions of works by Plato and Aristotle.

Specialized Search Engines
Until recently three specialized search engines in philosophy were found in Hippias, Noesis and Episteme. In 2006, Hippias was merged with Noesis. Noesis or Philosophical Research Online has its own search engine that can be limited to areas such as journals, primary texts, and Web sites.
Episteme is a portal page that links to multiple philosophical areas, e.g., philosophers, e-texts, organizations, images, and more.


Noesis"Noesis a limited area search engine for open access, academic philosophy on the Internet."
