The Lexicon of Greek Personal names, established as a major
research project of the British Academy and now funded by the Arts
and Humanities Research Board and by Greek Foundations, offers
scholars a comprehensive listing of all named individuals from the
ancient Greek-speaking world. The information needed has been
compiled from all written sources, literary, epigraphical,
papyrological and numismatic, within a chronological range from the
eighth century BC to approximately 600 AD; the geographical limits
match the use of Greek language in antiquity, from Asia Minor to
the Western Mediterranean, the Black Sea to North Africa. Many
scholars have contributed to the achievement of this ambitious
research programme With the present volume, the project moves into
Northern Greece and on to the west and north shores of the Black
Sea, extending from the Greek colonial zone into the Balkan
hinterland as far as the Danube. The Greek world was highly
differentiated in many ways, from the broadest divisions into
Aeolic, Ionic and Doric speaking communities, to individual cities
with their different social, religious and political patterns.
Names follow, and play a part in measuring, these differences,
which transcended physical boundaries. The LGPN volumes enable
scholars to use fully all the potential of personal names to
illuminate all aspects of ancient society. The LGPN volumes provide
the basis for further research into all aspects of ancient Greek
society, and are used by the classical community worldwide.
