we cannot offer post termination access. The Digital Loeb Classical Library is a digital platform rather than a collection of e-books. Because it is not a static collection but continues to be updated as we add or update texts, it is not possible to download the library in its entirety. The functionality of the site relies on it being a web platform and it is technologically not possible for us to offer post termination access.
