Abstract
Information technologies play a decisive and unprecedented role in our present society, also in the world of scientific research. Classical Philology has been a true pioneer in the use of Digital Humanities. Already in the eighties of the twentieth century, initiatives and projects proliferated that gave immediate access to the texts and materials which, undoubtedly, are an essential part of the European cultural heritage. Nonetheless, it is necessary that Classical Philology keeps going further and incorporates the most recent leading-edge technologies. These enable that users to interact with the contents in ways nobody could image thirty years ago. There are important research projects worldwide taking giant steps in this direction. Their astonishing results are contributing to dispel the misgivings of a certain sceptical sector of the Humanities academic world. Nonetheless, much still remains to be done in Spain. Thus, the political authorities and the members of the academic community should provide the means so both teachers and students of Classics can acquire the digital competence that our present society demands. Keywords. Digital Humanities; Digital Humanities projects; Greek and Latin digital dictionaries; Greek and Latin digital libraries; Syntactic mark-up; TEI XML encoding.
