Lexiphanes is really fast, with a slick and modern iPhone interface. It shows you the short definition of a word so you don't need to visit the whole entry. You can bookmark a word and come back to it later.
Lexiphanes can even convert Greek numerals to and from regular (Arabic) notation.
The short definitions feature was automatically generated from the text of the dictionaries. It's not perfect. We need your help! You can make changes and they'll be sent to us automatically.
Please read Lexidium's Instructions sheet carefully to learn how to input Greek characters. You can either turn on the Greek keyboard (new in OS 3.0) or you can use "beta code" input. Both work just fine.
These dictionaries are both in the public domain, but they would not exist in machine-readable format without the industry and genius of the Perseus Project and its director, Dr. Gregory Crane. Please contribute to Perseus today. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/help/support.jsp ...More

Excellent. Would pay substantially more for a Smyth Greek Grammar App.

Excellent dictionary, format, and price. Would pay substantially more for a Smyth Greek Grammar App.
A wonderful application, but with room for improvement.

I give this application five stars because it is simply an outstanding value. For $1.99, you get the entire text of the "big" LSJ lexicon--available from Oxford at $180 the last time I checked (though the print version does contain some copyrighted updates that this one lacks). This is the standard reference dictionary of Ancient Greek that every serious student of the language must use. Plus the useful Autenreith Homeric lexicon has been thrown in as a bonus. I own both of these hard copy books, but Lexiphanes is so much faster, more portable, and easier to access that I find myself using it much more (I am a Classics graduate student).

Works quickly and smoothly; thank you for creating this. Might you also create an app, perhaps linked to the Perseus Project, that allows one to read Homer or other important Greek literature on the iPhone. Safari doesn't work great for that.
Amazing

Perseus has outdone themselves. This App is wonderful.

I recently converted to using this after many months with Greek-English Lexicon app. However, this has a very usable and pleasant to look at UI and is much faster--instantaneous. The short definition feature is great also; great idea. It's also less expensive than the competition, although it would justly be able to charge more. I'm grateful for the time put into it because it really shows. I use it a few times a day when I don't actually have my Middle Liddell with me.
Elegant app, superb content

Oh, to have had this (and its companion Latin app, Lexidion) when I was an undergrad toting the mere abridged Liddell and mere Cassell's Latin across campus. Here we have a full LSJ, complete with citation of classical usages and morphology. It is astonishingly fast--much faster than Perseus' on-line LSJ--and the user interface is, yes, elegant. All this at a student price, without adding an ounce to the backpack. As a bonus, it converts Arabic numerals into Greek numerals and vice-versa!
