Homeric Dictionary for Schools and Colleges

Rating:
Summary: Superficial but still useful.
Review: Autenrieth's major problem is that the entries are incomplete and lack morphological information; gender, for example, is not given for nouns. Definitions are often superficial and incomplete, and odd forms are words are often not glossed or cross-referenced.

This is useful if you already know Homeric greek, and need only occasional promptings. If you're still a student (undergraduate or graduate), spend the extra cash and get Cunliffe. You really won't regret it.

This is okay for speed/incomplete reading, as the other reviewers suggest, but it is not in any way an authoritative text.

Rating:
Summary: An essential book for the swift reading of Homer.
Review: Having been a student of Greek for five years, and having used other dictionaries, I find that this one is the best and easiest for Homer. It suits the needs of both the beginner and the more advanced. I must also praise the illuminating pictures. Well worth the money!

Rating:
Summary: Good for getting through lots of Homer quickly
Review: It's handy, easy to use and authoritative enough to be recommended by professors for the purpose of rapid reading. For in-depth study or a more authoritative translation, use Cunliffe.
