[Next Project?] Hippolytus by Euripides. Translated by Gilbert Murray.

[Igor Dikiy]

It's on the wanted list as a moderate difficulty production.  I was really into Classical Greek in school, and vaguely remember reading Hippolytus.

Transcription: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8418

Page Scans: Hathi Trust? https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/102770767 Although this is a reprint from 1950.

[Alex Cabal]

OK, sure. The PG transcription also include The Bacchae which we want to
do as a separate ebook instead. You can use those scans as it has a
pre-1930 copyright date. Please send a link to your repo once you start!

Do I want to keep the Introductory Note by the translator?

You can cut Introductory Note from the transcription, but you'll need to add the Introduction in the page scans. The raw OCR is pretty clean, so it shouldn't require a lot of work.

Make sure you have read both the drama how-to guide and the poem how-to guide for file formatting, verse paragraphs, dropped lines, etc. I also recommend looking at other Gilbert Murray translations for structuring and styling.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Emma

[Igor Dikiy]

Thanks, Emma.  I will take a look at those!
