Used by every student of ancient Greek in the English-speaking world, the dictionary covers every surviving ancient Greek author and text discovered up to 1940, from the Pre-Classical Greek of Homer and Hesiod to Classical Greek to the Hellenistic Period, including the Greek Old and New Testaments. This monumental work is now available with a brand new Revised Supplement. Representing the culmination of thirteen years' work, the new Supplement is a complete replacement of the 1968 Supplement. Nearly twice the size of the 1968 edition, with over 20,000 entries, it adds to the dictionary words and forms from papyri and inscriptions discovered between 1940 and the 1990s as well as a host of other revisions, updatings, and corrections to the main dictionary. Linear B forms are shown within entries for the first time, and the Revised Supplement gives the dictionary a date-range from 1200 BC to 600 AD. It is fully cross-referenced to the main text, but additions have been designed to be easily used without constant reference to the main text. Review: the best /desertcart packaging leaves a lot to be desired - Book is the best it is a masterpiece for near 2 centuries now ,Everybody who had the privilege of getting a classic education( had ancient Greek in my 6 high school years in Greece) can appreciate the thoroughness and the innumerable citations .There is a Greek edition of this masterpiece in 8 volumes ,to give an in idea how massive it is . However desertcart's packaging is not good. They simply don't care for your expensive books .You are on your own on that one .Came less damaged than I expected it .Massive book near 10 lbs bouncing around in loading unloading packages ,highways without anything to stabilize it no bubble wrap ,no scrap brown papers for packaging ,nothing .The hinges came dislocated a bit had to put glue inside hinges to stabilize it Review: Definitive reference but not intended to be foreign language dictionary - Liddell & Scott's Greek-English Lexicon is an excellent reference book for Ancient Greek on down to the Koine. Remember, however, that Liddell & Scott is a lexicon, not a dictionary. The Ninth Edition with Supplement is well over 2000 pages of fine print. It will give you half a page on 'de' and if this is the sort of exhaustive thoroughness you need, this is absolutely a book you want in your library. If, on the other hand, you are reading a text and simply want to know what 'de' means, there are other texts that might be easier and less cumbersome to use. Liddell & Scott's "An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon" should certainly be considered; while condensed, it is still 800 or 900 pages. Richard J. Cunliffe's "A lexicon of the Homeric Dialect" is another excellent text for those interested in Homeric Greek. Another text I find quite useful is Georg Autenrieth's "A Homeric Dictionary for Schools and Colleges" (Translation by R.P. Keep). While Autenrieth gives an attestation or so, it is primarily intended to provide definitions and uses of Homeric Greek words and is extremely useful and handy when you encounter a word you don't know. And unlike Liddell & Scott, it provides the six principal parts for the verbs it defines. Many of these texts can be viewed online. Entries can also be compared using the Perseus Digital Library (call up a text, click on a word, and then select the lexicon or dictionary for their entry). ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #761,731 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,258 in Foreign Dictionaries & Thesauruses #1,687 in Foreign Language Instruction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 138 Reviews | ## Images ![A Greek-English Lexicon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IvOxRXd0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the best /Amazon packaging leaves a lot to be desired *by A***. on February 20, 2026* Book is the best it is a masterpiece for near 2 centuries now ,Everybody who had the privilege of getting a classic education( had ancient Greek in my 6 high school years in Greece) can appreciate the thoroughness and the innumerable citations .There is a Greek edition of this masterpiece in 8 volumes ,to give an in idea how massive it is .

This version of the text has clear, legible print, unlike some printings I have heard from. I haven't used it that much since I got it, but the binding seems to still work well only a few months in. Definitely an invaluable and long-lasting resource I'll use for years to come. Note though, if you haven't already, that the book is quite heavy and large. I believe it is the biggest book I own --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/49859045-a-greek-english-lexicon](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/49859045-a-greek-english-lexicon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
