Help for Reading Latin: Online texts and aids Part I: Alpheios and the Latin Library

Two wonderful resources that I've used many times are thelatinlibrary.com and Alpheios add-on tools from Firefox, alpheios.net.  I use Latin Library to look for Latin tests in a clean copy of the Latin (with line numbers), and Alpheios (yes, named after the river god) for dictionary draws from other online databases, such as Perseus and Whitaker words, to create possible parsing forms and definitions.  The best part about Alpheios is that you can highlight a word and double click (or right single click on a Mac) and see the form. What a great resource!  Please feel free to e-mail me with questions on this or any other resource that I mention.
