Thetis is a Java application (thus OS-independent)
that allows philologists to statistically analyze the Homeric and Hesiodic Epic.
So far Thetis can sort all words and all phrases (consisting up to sixteen
words) and automatically store them in a MySQL database for further analysis. In
its final stage of development Thetis is going to enable the user to make a
complete statistical analysis and automatically create a Thesaurus from any
given text.
Thetis is still in pre-alpha development stage, so it is still not available for download.
The first Beta version (and the equivalent source code) is going to be released in December
2005.
For the moment, you can download a complete
Thesaurus of the Homeric
and Hesiodic poems, created by Thetis. Just open the file in any text editor and
select a Unicode Greek font. On the left column (Word) you have all words
that occur in the Epics. On the first column from the right (Epic) you have the
name of epic (o stands for Odyssey, i for Ilias, as for
Aspis, er for Erga, theo for Theogony). In the second column (Line)
from the left you have the line in which the word can be found in that
particular Epic. In the third column from the left (Count) you have the
position of that word in the particular line and on the fourth column from the left
(Total) you have the total count of words in that line.
You can
use and distribute Thetis totally free of charge (check
the licence). |
