Hoi,
The language policy does not allow for Wikipedia in extinct languages.
However, a Wikisource for the old Greek languages does make sense.
When such a Wikisource would be created, the user interface would by default
not be in modern Greek because more people study old Greek outside Greece
then inside Greece. We do not accept a user interface in old Greek for the
same reasons we do not accept a Wikipedia in old Greek.
Thanks,
GerardM

Yes but isn't multilingual wikisource more of an
incubator rather than
exclusively for historic texts? It would make more sense to separate the
two
as inherently the two tasks have different goals in mind.

Holy ancient thread revival, Batman!
This seems like a good idea... but in the case of Wikisource, wouldn't
that
already be covered by multilingual Wikisource?
Yes, extinct/historical languages are collected by the multilingual
Wikisource project.

Ancient Greek works can also be found on the Greek Wikisource project.

Old English can also be found on the English Wikisource project.
