General Searching Tools

This allows you to search the English definitions in LSJ. If you click on the example word above, you will retrieve all Greek dictionary entries that contain the word "wealth."

This allows you to search the English definitions in Lewis and Short. If you click on the example word above, you will retrieve all Latin dictionary entries that contain the word "love."

In English words can appear in different forms: e.g. "swam" is the past tense of "swim." If you wanted to look up the meaning of "swam," you would look up "swim" in the lexicon. In Greek, the morphology is much more complex than in English -- a single Greek verb can, for example, show up in hundreds of different forms in any given dialect. This tool analyses Greek (or Latin) words and tells you their possible morphological analyses and the dictionary entries from which they could be derived.

How often does a given word show up? This tool calculates the frequency of one or more dictionary entries in the Perseus Greek texts.

This search locates all instances of a Greek word in a given Perseus author.

Note: This search allows you to locate dictionary words. If you search for pherô ("to carry"), you will retrieve inflected forms such as oisete ("you (pl.) will carry") and ênenkomen ("we carried").

Hint: It is not always obvious what the proper dictionary entry is: try using the other searching tools to find out.
