Lexicographica Graeca Contributions to the Lexicography of Ancient Greek [Hardcover]

Liddell and Scott'sGreek-English Lexiconhas been the essential tool of advanced Greek scholars for 150 years; in order to update it a newSupplementhas been published (OUP 1996) replacing that of 1968. Reconsidering theSupplement's lexicographical principles and individual articles, Chadwick argues for further revision and expansion, and offers many new interpretations of familiar Greek literary passages based upon a lexicographic approach.

Chadwick's salty style combined with the semantic insights and lexicographic tips that he offers make a fascinating book which, though certainly browsable, may be read from cover to cover. --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
