The beginning of wisdom is the investigation of names, said the Cynic philosopher Antisthenes, emphasizing the dominant role of language knowledge, and specifically the parts of speech. The Dictionary of Irregular Verbs of Attic Prose, the result of many years of study, aims primarily to offer knowledge of the verb based on the literary works of the Attic dialect.

This is a practical dictionary of ancient Greek aimed at students, philology students, educators, and any language-loving reader. The user of the dictionary has at their disposal all the attested simple forms of the verbs that appear in the texts of ancient prose writers, as well as excerpts from their works.

The student reads the ancient excerpt and automatically learns the various ways in which each verb is formed and how it functions in connecting sentences. The suggested etymology highlights the morphological basis of the verb, clarifies its original meaning, and leads the reader to discover its significance within the text.

In short, the dictionary aims for us to learn seamlessly the forms of the verbs, their syntax, and their basic meanings.
