passages

This page is produced by a script I wrote to produce (pseudo-)random lines from Greek and Latin texts for my translation project/language exam studying.

There's not much to see here, unless you enjoy endlessly refreshing webpages to see a random selection of ancient texts and numbers (in which case, you're in luck).
