These characters should display properly in most browsers. The Anglo-Saxon yogh (equivalent of "y," "g," or "gh") will display properly only if the user has the proper font. A mouse-over pop-up transliteration has been provided for words containing a yogh, e.g., Ȝong. This e-text also contains passages in ancient Greek. In the original text, some of the Greek characters have diacritical marks that may not display properly in some browsers, depending on the available fonts. In order to make this e-text as accessible as possible, the diacritical marks have been omitted. Short phrases in Greek have a mouse-hover transliteration, e.g., καλος. Longer passages have the transliteration immediately following. EPIC AND ROMANCE |
