Overview

An essential tool for the learning of Classical Greek, based around OCR’s GCSE word list (DVL) and that of the ICCG. Greek words accompanied by their parts of speech are translated and given a set of derivatives, both the familiar and the fascinating, which act as a helpful aid in memorising vocabulary. Space is included for readers to annotate as they learn – and note other derivatives they may come across too! Lively and accessible, this lexicon will appeal to students, philologists and Hellenophiles. An engaging introduction begins the exciting odyssey through 425 word entries, many of which are accompanied by fun, didactic footnotes. The text is imaginatively punctuated with 32 illustrations by Barbarann Lang.
