The Greek Dialects, Third Revised Edition

Carl Darling Buck

This is the classic treatment of the dialects of ancient Greece. Here Buck presents detailed information on the phonology, inflection, syntax, and other aspects of some twenty-five of the known Greek dialects. A highly useful feature of the work is an extensive annotated selection, comprising nearly half the book, of the actual inscriptions upon which our knowledge of dialects is based.
