Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
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."

Autenrieth's A Homeric Dictionary has been the companion of
countless individuals who have begun the study of Homer. Far and
away the hardiest and most helpful of all the aids to the reading
of Homeric Greek, it provides the student with a full listing of
Homeric forms and concise accounts of the meanings of words.
