Ephilology

Ι.Θ. Κακριδής «Γιατί διδάσκουμε Αρχαία Ελληνικά στα παιδιά» Τρεις είναι οι κύριοι λόγοι που μας υποχρεώνουν να βοηθήσουμε τα παιδιά μας να επικοινωνήσουν όσο γίνεται περισσότερο με τον αρχαίο κόσμο. Πρώτα απ’ όλα, γιατί είμαστε κι εμείς Έλληνες. Από τον καιρό του Ομήρου ως σήμερα έχουν περάσει κάπου δυο χιλιάδες εφτακόσια χρόνια. Στους αιώνες που κύλησαν οι Έλληνες βρεθήκαμε συχνά στο απόγειο της δόξας, άλλοτε πάλι στα χείλια μιας καταστροφής ανεπανόρθωτης∙ νικήσαμε και νικηθήκαμε αμέτρητες φορές∙ δοκιμάσαμε επιδρομές και σκλαβιές∙ αλλάξαμε θρησκεία∙ στους τελευταίους αιώνες η τεχνική επιστήμη μετασχημάτισε βασικά τη μορφή της ζωής μας∙ και όμως κρατηθήκαμε Έλληνες, με την ίδια γλώσσα‐φυσικά εξελιγμένη‐, με τα ίδια ιδανικά, τον ίδιο σε πολλά χαραχτήρα και με ένα πλήθος στοιχεία του πολιτισμού κληρονομημένα από τα προχριστιανικά χρόνια. Στον πνευματικό τομέα κανένας λαός δεν μπορεί να προκόψει, αν αγνοεί την ιστορία του, γιατί άγνοια της ιστορίας θα πει άγνοια του ίδιου του ίδιου του Read More

Elegant app, superb content

MacSince1985

Version: 1.1

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!

what I was hoping for

Version: 1.1

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.

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).
