Perseus collection
Is the Perseus collection no longer available? I cannot buy it in the Logos Storefront.

I probably kept 10 titles and hid the rest of them! Too much clutter during searches! 😣

Indeed, if you're not interested in the literary conventions used in the NT and stuff like that, and ancient languages aren't your thing, the Perseus collection may not be your cup of tea. Many of us find great value in these books, though.

I tagged all of them, as well as the similar size American History Collection. That way I can eliminate those if I don't want them in search results, or search only these collections.

I’m going through MP training on tagging and I hope to finally get around to doing that 👌

Extremely valuable, especially with the new summary feature in place, which is able to summarize these volumes chapter by chapter, and translate them into English in the process.
A lot of the Perseus resources are referenced in other Logos resources, which I come across so many times.

I haven't tried that. Thanks for the suggestion. [Y]

That's the primary value they have for me. The Perseus collection was a no cost way of being able to click through when a book I'm reading references some of these ancient works.

A few other interesting things I have found:
Search Pliny the Elder, The Natural History, for 'salt'.
We often hear that salt was used to flavor and preserve, but Pliny spends time on another use you might find interesting.
See Pollio, Vitruvius, The Ten Books on Architecture. Book One: the chapters on cities. Book VI on houses.
It seems that no one knows if his ideas were followed, but he's an ancient witness to what might have been considered by architects in the first century BC and following.
See Suetonius, The Lives of the Caesars. Includes, of course, the Caesars in the New Testament timeline.
If anyone else has found anything interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
