Summary:

"We have an article that is about to appear in the Journal of Open Humanities Data on “Perseus and the Open-Source Ecosystem of Greco-Roman Studies,” but I thought I would precede that more formal discussion with a very recent example of what you can do in this open ecosystem. The discussion below talks about how quickly we were able to provide a usable first digital version for the Dionysiaca of Nonnus. For now, Nonnus appears in the exploratory Perseus Multitext Viewer and is hosted on Github pages: https://gregorycrane.github.io/persverscomp/"
