The Odyssey and the Aeneid on iPhone Duo.
Open the phone and the Greek is on the left page, the English on the right, line for line. The hinge is the spine. The book turns pages.
The Greek on the left. The English on the right.
Each opening holds whole lines. No line is cut at the foot of the page. Tap the margin and both leaves turn at the hinge.
Tap a word. The dictionary opens opposite.
Cunliffe's lexicon of Homeric Greek, on the facing page, with the entries that quote this very line. The trail of entries stays with you as you read on.
Every word, explained.
The line's English, then each word with its meaning in this place.
Six feet in every line. See them.
The metre of the line, scanned on the facing page, with its dactyls and spondees named.
The grammar beside the lesson.
In Study, the lesson is on the left page and the grammar it assigns is on the right, the way a student keeps a book open beside the exercise. When a drill asks you to recall a paradigm, both pages close the book.
Fold it, stand it up, press Play.
The poem is on the top leaf. The line being read, its English, its metre and the controls are on the bottom leaf, under your hands.
Close it. You are still on the line.
The line under your thumb when you close the phone is the line on the outer display. Open it again and the book opens there.
The Aeneid, the same way.
The Latin on the left, the English on the right. Lewis and Short's dictionary and Conington's commentary open on the facing page. A first year of Latin sits beside the textbook's own page.
