Detection of Citations and Textual Reuse on Ancient Greek Texts and its Applications in the Classical Studies: eAQUA Project

"Users of this or any edition are warned that the textual variants presented by citations from Plato in later literature have not yet been as fully investigated as is desirable". This shortcoming, characterized by Kenneth Dover (Dover, 1980) is still existent and is unlikely to be corrected quickly by traditional research techniques. Textual reuse plays an important role in Classical Studies research. Similar to modern publications, classical authors used the texts of others as sources for their own work. In ancient texts, however, a less stronger form of word by word citation can be observed. Additionally, the complexity of ancient resources disallows fully manual research.
