A Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect: Expanded Edition
- Used Book in Good Condition
For nearly a century, Richard John Cunliffeâ€™s Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect has served as an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Homerâ€™s Iliad and Odyssey. As both an English-Homeric dictionary and a concordance, the Lexicon lists and defines in English all instances of Greek words that appear in the two epics. Now, with the inclusion of Cunliffeâ€™s â€œHomeric Proper and Place Namesâ€â€”a forty-two-page supplement to the Lexiconâ€”this expanded edition will be even more useful to readers of Homer.

In his original preface to the supplement, Cunliffe explained that proper and place names had to be excluded from the Lexicon â€œchiefly on the ground of expense.â€ Although the Lexicon has enjoyed perennial popularity, scholars have long lamented the absence of â€œcapitalizedâ€ name-forms in the Lexicon. By consolidating the two works into one handy single-volume format, this expanded edition fills the only gap in Cunliffeâ€™s indispensable reference.

In his preface to the expanded edition, James H. Dee explains the benefits of uniting the two dictionaries. In addition, Dee provides a brief list of errata and a helpful key to Cunliffeâ€™s system of referencing the poems according to Greek letter.
