"Franco Montanari’s Dictionary of Ancient Greek has all the qualities that make a good dictionary: it is complete and up-to-date, it is accurate, and it is easy to use. Montanari has fully exploited the new information provided by inscriptions and papyri and has rightly treated personal names as evidence for the Greek language. These features make this Dictionary particularly valuable not only for the student of Classics but also for the specialized scholar who works with non-canonical texts and with the documentary sources." - Professor Angelos Chaniotis, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
