Timelines of ancient Greece and Rome w/etexts (ToC)

[ToC] [site critique] I'll include links to each of his pages (tagged eg [tm1.1]) but also many links to resources not on the Perseus site. (Martin includes some local Perseus links at the bottom of each page, as well.)

A survey of etexts will be offered for each major classical author:

My current page-divisions are still arbitrary, to keep each page under 100k, so breakpoints will likely change as different sections are expanded.
