• Read one passage word by word

  get_passage

  Returns ONE passage of a book as an interlinear: the original text, a word-by-word table (each word, its transliteration, its everyday meaning, its literal sense where that differs, and its dictionary form), the flowing English, the editors' note, a citation string, and links to read it in the reader. Optionally adds the immediately following or preceding passage (never more than two passages per call; whole chapters or books are not available, by design). Refs look like "1.1" (Odyssey book 1 line 1), "17a" (Plato, Apology, Stephanus page), "1.1" (John 1:1), "77" (Gospel of Thomas, saying 77). When quoting, include the citation and the reader link.

• List the books

  list_books

  Lists the books in the Great Library Project, a free library of classic and ancient texts (Homer, Plato, the Gospels, Gnostic texts, Ugaritic myths, Dante and more) presented as interlinears: the original-language text with every word glossed in English beneath it, plus a flowing English translation. Returns each book's title, author, original language, how complete it is, why it matters, and links to its landing page and its word-by-word reader. Use this first to find the right book name for get_passage or search.
