Abstract
In the following pages I look at reading Homer in Greek as a paradigm of 'reading with a dictionary' and other forms of 'look-up' reading for which a digital environment offers distinct advantages. I take as my point of departure the activity of reading Homer in a print environment with a text, dictionary, and commentary, and then consider the added value of three electronic tools: 1.the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG),<http://www.tlg.uci.edu> a virtually complete archive of all ancient Greek texts. 2.the Perseus Project <http://www.perseus.tufts.edu>, a bilingual text-and-dictionary web site that provides access to a large chunk of classical and Hellenistic Greek texts. 3.the Chicago Homer <http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue25/mueller/\#fn1>, a specialized bilingual web site of Early Greek epic that will be published by the University of Chicago Press late in 2000.
