An and using any language is the

essential step in learning
acquisition of a working vocabulary. Many methods have
been devised to help with this acquisition, all of them stress-
ing the fundamental importance of mastering the words
most frequently used. The Owen and Goodspeed word-lists—
in which Homeric terms are arranged according to frequency
of usage, divided into categories according to parts of speech,
and presented in an easy-to-use format— are particularly
helpful.
The word-lists are based in part upon Gehring's famed
Index Homericus and are designed to help the student learn
Homeric words in a systematic way, thereby making the
reading of Homer a rewarding and natural experience.

WILLIAM BISHOP OWEN and EDGAR JOHNSON GOOD-

SPEED were the authors of many articles and books on
classical subjects. CLYDE PHARR is professor of classical
languages in the University of Texas and author of Homeric
Greek: A Book for Beginners^ also published by the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma Press. It is Homeric Vocabu-
his belief that
laries is indispensable for those who would begin the study
of Greek with Homer, as well as for those who would deepen
their knowledge of Greek.

 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 68-31669

New edition copyright 1969 by the University of Oklahoma Press,

PubHshing Division of the University, Norman, Oklahoma. New
edition is revised and enlarged from the original edition published
by The University of Chicago Press. Manufactured in the U.S.A.
New edition first published 1969, second printing, 1975.
 FOREWORD
The course of English literature might have been different
if Keats, instead of looking into Chapman's Homer, could
have looked into Homer in Homer's own language. Hom-
er and the literature and thinking of his age continue to
present a rewarding field for today's scholars, both young
and old. This book is designed to make their efforts

easier, to facilitate their understanding and mastery of the

Homeric vocabulary.
An essential step in learning and using any language
is the acquisition of a working vocabulary. Many methods
have been devised to help with this acquisition, all of them
stressing the fundamental importance of mastering the
words most frequently used. The Owen and Goodspeed
word-lists, in which Homeric terms are arranged accord-
ing to frequency of usage, divided into categories accord-
ing to parts of speech, and presented in an easy-to-use
format, are particularly helpful.
The Homeric Vocabularies of Owen and Goodspeed
has been used successfully by teachers and students over
many years. If, during this long period of use, the book
has had any major defect, it has been — according to today's
students — the separation of the Greek words from their

English meanings. In previous editions, the Greek list was

in the first part of the book and the corresponding English
Foreword

list in the back part, an arrangement that, according to

some, required unnecessary and occasionally frustrating
labor. In this edition, the Greek word and its English
meaning are shown on the same page. This arrangement
and the addition of three indexes should make an im-
portant book even more useful.

 PREFACE
This series of word-lists is the outgrowth of the convic-

tion that the ordinary way of acquiring Homeric vocabu-

lary is both wasteful and ineffectual. The chief difficulty

in learning to read Homer lies in the large and varied

character of the vocabulary required, and these lists have
been prepared in order to help the student to learn Hom-
eric words in a systematic and practical way. A moderate
number of words learned each day and constantly re-
viewed will rapidly enlarge the student's working vocabu-
lary, and steadily better his equipment for sight-reading.
He will gradually be emancipated from the constant use
of the lexicon, while his knowledge of Greek words will

gain rather than lose in precision and permanence. Each

day a few new words should be learned, and those pre-
viously learned should be rapidly reviewed. The student

will very shordy find himself possessed of a vocabulary

which will gready facilitate the work of translation, and

make the reading of Homer at sight a pleasant and na-
tural exercise. In short, it is believed that the mastery of

these lists will secure for the student that much-talked-of

thing, the abiUty to read Homer; and make of his study

of it a means, not simply of discipHne, but of enjoyment

and culture.

throughout. Attention may be called to the fact that in the

statistics of verb occurrences, compounds have been reck-
oned with their primitives. In this we have followed the
procedure of Gehring's Index Homericus, upon the ma-
terials of which our statistics are based.
