🌐 Online Archives & Resources

Free, legal places to find books and other media. Not all of these cater exclusively to Greek myth enthusiasts and hellenists — some are just good general libraries.

Note: several of these aren’t separate libraries so much as different faces of the same collection. Project Gutenberg is the source; Standard Ebooks reformats Gutenberg’s public-domain catalogue into much better-proofread epubs; LibriVox is volunteer-read audiobooks, also mostly pulled from Gutenberg. Open Library is an Internet Archive project built to make browsing easier. Standard Ebooks should be your first stop for out-of-copyright classics — though it’s still missing a fair amount of Gutenberg’s nonfiction.
