shortdesc Support for the work of classicists
longdesc The package provides classicists with some of the tools that are
longdesc needed for typesetting scholarly publications dealing with Greek
longdesc and Latin texts, with special emphasis on Greek verse. As the
longdesc package's name suggests, its core is a comprehensive set of
longdesc commands for generating metrical schemes and for placing
longdesc prosodical marks on text set in the Latin or the Greek alphabet.
longdesc The rest of the package provides a miscellany of commands for
longdesc symbols (most of them not directly related to metre) that are
longdesc often used in critical editions of classical texts. The package
longdesc does not require any special font: all symbols are taken from the
longdesc Computer Modern fonts (which are included in all TeX
longdesc distributions) and the package's commands are based on TeX
longdesc primitives. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]
