Product Description:

It covers over 20,000 Greek words and phrases in clear, user-friendly translations, and over 4,000 English words in common usage. The dictionary also offers help with Greek to English sentence construction and prose composition, and provides grammatical guidance with tables of irregular verbs and a glossary of grammatical terms. Additional information includes a list of numerals, a guide to pronunciation, and a map of Greece.

My only complaint about this otherwise excellent dictionary is the lack of a proper English - Greek section: only 65 pages as opposed to 365 pages of Greek-English.

My wife's minivan fails miserably at hauling heavy loads or towing other vehicles. However, it does quite well at the specific task it was designed for. Just as there is no single all-purpose vehicle that is best for every mission, we need to be realistic and realize no single lexicon will meet every need.
This compact, lightweight dictionary will not replace Liddell-Scott's Lexicon for me anytime soon. Yet, it travels well, has nicely readable text, and the English to Greek section is quite useful. It also contains proper names, numbers, and the "top 101" irregular verbs, all in a 7 1/2 x 5 x 7/8" package. When I throw Herodotus in my shoulder bag & head out, this goes with it. I'm aware of the limitations, but am still keeping mine.

Very helpful for very first year greek student. This is not a comprehensive dictionary but for the price you can't beat it. You could spend the $150 for a comprehensive one but I don't reccommend it.

Pros:
- good, easy to read format
- selection of ancient greek names
- comprehensive greek section
- map of ancient Greece
- good alphabet table in front
cons:
- the english to greek section is VERY short and not very comprehensive.
- the section on grammer/pronunciation is only three pages long
All in all, an okay buy.

This dictionary is worth something because it has English to Greek entries. The section with Greek names and proper nouns is also quite useful for pronunciation and reference.
That being said, the lack of verb principal parts makes this dictionary rather weak. For students of Ancient Greek it is essential to have acess to every verb form. What could be a five star product gets only three for this "bush league" error.
