The dialect of ancient Greek in which the Homeric epics the Iliad
and the Odyssey were composed and later written down is
sufficiently different from classical Attic Greek that it has
always proven a stumbling block for students. Perceiving the need
for a concise dictionary of Homeric Greek forms, German scholar
Georg Autenrieth (1833 1900) compiled this now famous work, first
published in 1873 and translated into English by Robert P. Keep
(1844 1904) in 1877. Keep, who taught Greek at Yale University and
various New England colleges, recognised from his own experience
that Autenrieth's book would enable students to proceed faster and
further in their studies of Homer than could ever be the case using
a conventional dictionary, where dialect forms received a
relatively cursory treatment at the end of each entry. The
worldwide success of the work, reissued here in its first English
edition, has justified this belief."
