Loeb Classical Library

The Loeb Classical Library (LCL; named after James Loeb; /loʊb/, German: [løːp]) is a series of books originally published by Heinemann in London, but is currently published by Harvard University Press.[1] The library contains important works of ancient Greek and Latin literature designed to make the text accessible to the broadest possible audience by presenting the original Greek or Latin text on each left-hand page, and a fairly literal translation on the facing page. The General Editor is Jeffrey Henderson, holder of the William Goodwin Aurelio Professorship of Greek Language and Literature at Boston University.
