For nearly a century, Richard John Cunliffe's "Lexicon of the
Homeric Dialect" has served as an invaluable resource for students
and scholars of Homer'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 Cunliffe's "Homeric
Proper and Place Names"--a forty-two-page supplement to the
"Lexicon"--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"
"chiefly on the ground of expense." Although the "Lexicon" has
enjoyed perennial popularity, scholars have long lamented the
absence of "capitalized" name-forms in the "Lexicon." By
consolidating the two works into one handy single-volume format,
this expanded edition fills the only gap in Cunliffe'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 Cunliffe's system of
referencing the poems according to Greek letter.
