Book Description

The world's most authoritative dictionary of ancient Greek - abridged for schools


Product Description

This abridgement of the world's most authoritative dictionary of ancient Greek is intended chiefly for use in schools. To this end, some of the more specialised words relating to medicine and science have been excluded, whilst words from works of particular relevance to school usage have been retained, and the number of irregular verb tenses expanded.

5.0 out of 5 stars A necessity, 23 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A Greek-English Lexicon: With a Revised Supplement (Hardcover)
This is the standard Greek dictionary, which is used throughout the English-speaking world of classical studies. The dictionary itself, with its recent update to include Linear B and other discoveries, remains essential today, as it was when it was originally published. Irregular forms of verbs are outlined in full, and, like Lewis and Short for Latinists, extensive quotations are given from Greek sources. Although this book may seem daunting to those beginning Greek, it is the essential reference work at all stages. Perhaps for the purposes of translation in the earlier stages it is also sensible to have a copy of the Intermediate Lexicon to hand, since it is a book of considerably more manageable a size.

5.0 out of 5 stars A key which unlocks a treasure house., 12 Jun 2008
This Lexicon comes in a few different sizes. The largest is expensive, and not something you could easily carry around with you unless you were engaging in weight lifting classes as well as Classics. However, it is replete with detailed examples of usage.

I have the Abridged version, of some 804 pages. I have found this to be perfectly adequate for assisting in reading Marcus Aurelius and Plato in the original. It contains many inflected forms of words as well, but not all accidence is covered.

The changing use of words is also provided - e.g. from the Classical to the Koine / New Testament usage.

The Abridged version is surprisingly portable yet meaty enough to warrant a prized position on my Classical Greek bookshelf... when it isn't in my hands helping to thwart my ignorance of a Greek sentence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, but a bit of a large investment!, 14 Nov 2007
By Ilynnie (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Greek-English Lexicon: With a Revised Supplement (Hardcover)
This lexicon is THE lexicon for Ancient Greek. If you are stuck on a passage, and look up a word, this dictionary may even have the section translated for you within the entry.

It is, however, a rather weighty tome so don't expect to be carrying it around in your bag everywhere (it is much larger and heavier than my laptop computer). That (and the price which is high for a student budget) is the reason why I went for the abridged version. If I really, really need the reference, there is always the university library (or a helpful professor).
