The '''Perseus Digital Library''', formerly known as the '''Perseus Project''', is a free-access [[digital library]] founded by Gregory Crane in 1987 and hosted by the Department of Classical Studies of [[Tufts University]]. One of the pioneers of digital libraries, its self-proclaimed mission is to make the full record of humanity available to everyone. While originally focused on the [[ancient Greece|ancient Greco]][[ancient Rome|-Roman]] world, it has since diversified and offers materials in [[Arabic]], [[Germanic languages|Germanic]], [[English Renaissance]] literature, [[19th century in the United States|19th century American]] documents and [[Italian poetry]] in [[Latin]], and has sprouted several child projects and international cooperation. The current version, Perseus 4.0, is also known as the Perseus Hopper, and is [[Mirror site|mirrored]] by the [[University of Chicago]].
