great
a fantastic app: a real gift.
occasionally a few (fairly minor) typos in places (eg Bello Gallico, book 2, ch 13 s 3 ‘mallibus’ for ‘manibus’, b2 ch14 s1 ‘Cum’ for ‘eum’, which oddly aren’t present in the git data source)

And Now
How beautiful it is to mine eyes that I might look upon Ancient Greek and Latin Literature in my pocket. A library in my palm with the generous scribbles of geniuses from the dusty days
Astonishingly good
I’ve been studying Greek and Latin for 25 years. Early on Perseus became available, which was amazing, but Bellerophon is even more amazing. It’s a VAST repository of G/L texts, including by many authors I’ve never even heard of. Classic authors, Church fathers, obscure geographers and philosophers—they’re in here. The more common texts have English translations, so you can split the screen and do a Loeb-like side-by-side comparison. Even 25 years in, I still struggle with these languages, but having a vast repository of texts with translations gives a lot of material to play with. Also, you can pull up a quick morphological analysis if stuck on a word. My only complaints are minor. It would be nice if it could automatically find the English text (if present) and give you a one-click way to get it into split-screen. Also, to get the morphology requires a double-tap plus finding and selecting an option from a larger menu. It’d be nice if a long-tap on a word would pop up the analysis. Otherwise, wow, well done.
