Never saw it like that. Rather:

  ,-
  `-.
   ,'

or (shift of base line)

   _
  (_
   ,'

And my Euripides edition (Murray, Oxford) just has:

   _
  (_

what about:

  _;_
 (_|_)
   i 

  _;_
 (_|_)
  .i.

lower case

   _./
  (.&_)
   /

  (_(_)
    )

and wrong, too: Go, grab your grammar, and check aor. imp. for -isk:

             _     _
            ' `    \I.       _,  _       ___,  _'     .
    )' l,' (_;_) '7_J  l,   (_) (_{ l_) ' I   (_) l,' 
   ()  '                                  `'      '

(and now you also know where the accent goes, and what the Greek
exclamation mark looks like).


Also, I'd like to add the digamma that I am really missing (still
present in Homer, e.g. Iliad I,7: te *anax andron, where * marks the
digamma's position):

    _,
   |_
   |
   '

Still, I doubt Perseus will switch to this kind of ASCII any time
soon.


Albert, re-lurking.
