This paper presents a workflow to analytically compare translations of Ancient Greek texts into English and Persian through the analysis of parallel corpora aligned manually at word level using UGARIT translation alignment editor. We extracted the translation pairs, measured word intersections, match ratios, and part of speech data, in order to observe how close the translations were to each other and to the original text. The corpus we propose includes the Iliad, the Hippolytus, and Against Neaira. In addition to the direct translations, we have included and analyzed some indirect translations in the Greek-Persian corpus where French has been used as the mediating language.
