Post by Carolina Conlanger »

Are there any good Ancient or Biblical Greek dictionaries online?

Try Bible Hub. I can't comment on their Greek, but I've found their Hebrew and Aramaic resources invaluable.

What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?”

I use http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=a , though I admit Ive always had a problem actually navigating the site. Usually if Im there its because Ive googled some Greek word and in the results was a link to the Perseus site. What I linked to is not what Im used to seeing, so unless they've inexplicably taken the site offline there is a much more useful search page available somewhere. It also has all of Latin.

This might be the actual dictionary search: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/tex ... %3Dyu%2Fxw

and for Latin: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/tex ... pampinator

The Greek and Latin searches seem to work slightly differently.

I mean, is there somewhere where I can type in the English and get the Ancient Greek word for what I typed?

Translate English to Greek (I recommend using Wiktionary for that, but many words won't have translations) and look up the Greek word in a Greek or multilingual dictionary with etymologies, like Wiktionary.

I'm on a phone now so can't copypaste easily, but the Pereseus site I linked to above will search in both directions, and has declensions etc.
