Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon has been the essential tool of advanced Greek scholars for 150 years; in order to update it a new Supplement has been published (OUP 1996) replacing that of 1968. Reconsidering the Supplement's lexicographical principles and individual articles, Chadwick argues for further revision and expansion, and offers many new interpretations of familiar Greek literary passages based upon a lexicographic approach.

In their 1953 book, Documents in Mycenaean Greek, Michael Ventris (1922 56) and John Chadwick (1920 98) demonstrated that the previously mysterious script Linear B was, in fact, a syllabic form of written Greek, thereby revolutionizing ancient history and linguistics. In this second edition, originally published in 1973, Chadwick examines how the study of the subject has expanded since 1953 and includes some of the material discovered since the initial publication. This book continues to be a valuable part of Classical scholarship and will be of interest to Classicists of every discipline."
