Does anyone know the difference between the Loeb library, and the Perseus collection? They seem sort of similar

    They are quite similar.  Both are collections classical texts in both the original language and an English translation.  In fact, it appears that the source for many of the texts in Perseus collection is the older Loeb volumes. The Loebs appear to have a few more annotations than Perseus, but they didn't really have THAT many annotations either.  It seems like there is quite a bit of overlap between the two...

    I've explained the differences between the Logos editions of the Perseus Classics Collection and the Loeb Classical Library in a different thread. My comments can be accessed here: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/70545/490971.aspx#490971

    We're currently making an effort to list all of the public domain titles in the Loeb Classical Library on community pricing. To see all of the Loeb Classical Library collections currently on community pricing, just search for "Loeb" on Logos.com. It'll return the full list. We'll be posting the remaining collections over the next few months; there's quite a few to come.
