hippopotamos

hippopotamos lets you read short phrases from classical Greek authors on an Android device and hear them through an audio option. It presents Greek literary material in small units intended for brief, focused engagement rather than extended reading sessions. Its subject is specifically classical Greek writing, not a general collection of ancient or Roman texts.

Readers can examine each phrase on screen and use the listening feature to encounter the same material through sound. The combination supports people studying classical Greek who want to alternate between reading and listening during short personal study periods. It is also suited to anyone seeking a compact way to encounter passages from classic Greek authors without working through longer works at once.

The current release, 0.5.14-pre-alpha, is an early alpha version and therefore reflects an ongoing stage of development. hippopotamos runs on Android 4.4 and later and uses a universal architecture. Its open-source license makes the source available for examination and further development under the terms of that license.
