dagr8gatzby:

i see, now. (example: http://philoctetes.free.fr/uniheraclite.htm )

it's weird, though, because some of the fragments aren't in greek (fragment 4 in the link above is in latin.) but i guess i don't know how the fragments were passed down or found or whatever.

fucking wars tearing up philosophy :(

damn that site sucks.. pages don't load half of the time

wikisource is much more reliable:
