A BERT pre-trained language model for an ancient greek language.
We used [GreekBERT from @nlpaueb](https://huggingface.co/nlpaueb/bert-base-greek-uncased-v1) and fine-tuned it with the MLM objective on several corpora of ancient greek texts. Later, we used it to train several classifiers to assist an author and style attribution of a couple of recently discovered texts.
