Deborah Beck writes, “I hope that making my database of all the speeches presented in the Homeric epics available online will offer a specific example of how new technological tools can enable Classicists to develop innovative and fruitful approaches to the enduring questions that are central to our discipline. My book, Speech Presentation in Homeric Epic (University of Texas Press, 2012), explores how various ways of depicting speech shape the narratives in the Homeric poems; similarly, this database and the kinds of questions it allowed me to ask has shaped the scholarly narrative in my book. I hope that making it directly available to all will shape future scholarly inquiries, and that users of the database will tell me how they have used it and what kinds of questions it has helped them to explore.”
