Synopsis

Perhaps the most complete single volume Greek-English Lexicon.


The essential intermediate reference for ancient Greek.

This abridgement of the world's most authoritative dictionary of ancient Greek is perhaps the most complete single volume Greek-English lexicon. It has been used and loved by generations of students of ancient Greek, and will be invaluable to those reading Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch, Polybius, Strabo, Lucian, the New Testament, and the Church Fathers. A must-have for serious students.

Henry George Liddell (1811 - 1898) was dean of Christ Church, Oxford and later Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. His daughter Alice was the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Robert Scott (1811 - 1887) was a professor of Greek at Oxford for over thirty years and Master of Balliol College, Oxford.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This abridgement of the world's most authoritative dictionary of ancient Greek is based on the 1883 revision. It includes some discussion of word usage, citing examples and characteristic phrases. Generally speaking, only words used by late writers and scientific terms have been omitted from the full lexicon. From Homer downwards, to the close of Attic Greek, care has been taken to include all words, as well as those used by Aristotle, Plutarch in his Lives, Polybius, Strabo, Lucian, and the writers of the New Testament.
