I decided to start with Homeric greek. however I wanted to know if the BAGD would suffice?
Hi,
The BDAG is a marvelous dictionary. But if you’re going to do Homer (bravo!), I would urge you to get Cunliffe’s lexicon.
Cordially,
Paul
This sounds like an avant-garde mandolin tuning. I cannot for the life of me figure out the B and the D this morning.
That leaves an A and a G.
You probably think that they stand for Ancient Greek.
WRONG. (I loved doing that. Likely the only chance I’ll get at correcting you. 
)
It stands for Bauer, Danker, Arndt and Gingrich.
It is THE lexicon for Biblical Greek.
Timotheus wrote BAGD. It is the second edition, BDAG is the third edition.
I did.

Ah. Probably not a good tool for reading Homer, then.
thanks, I’ll pick one up. is this something i can get from this site or doi order from barnes and noble?
I don’t think Cunliffe is available online. You can preview it at Amazon, if you want—but you won’t be disappointed. It’s fantastic.
