Well, they can't copyright what is in the PD.

There is little about the XML in TEI format that can be called
"creative", and any non-factual markup can be easily stripped out.

I remember now ... it was in March/April 2008 that I was looking at
this, for the Pindar odes, and a djvu with pagescans is on
archive.org.

The Perseus etext doesnt appear to include the 125 pages which have
the complete Greek texts.
(btw, here is our unverified original source:
http://el.wikisource.org/wiki/Ολυμπιόνικοι )

However the commentary is all there, with pagination in the TEI so it
is easy to marry the text with the images.
