What is the best Greek dictionary?
The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek
With an established reputation as the most important modern dictionary for Ancient Greek, it brings together 140,000 headwords taken from the literature, papyri, inscriptions and other sources of the archaic period up to the 6th Century CE, and occasionally beyond.
Should I take ancient Greek or Latin?
Learning Latin is (generally speaking*) easier than Greek; you don't need to learn a new alphabet, and if you know a little bit of Italian, French or Spanish, you might recognize some of the words. Even English has, because of the large influence of French, many words whose roots can be traced back to Latin.
What is the best Latin dictionary?
More than half a century in the making, the two-volume Oxford Latin Dictionary is the world's most authoritative dictionary of Classical Latin, offering unsurpassed coverage of the language of Rome from its beginnings until AD 200.
Is Greek and Latin similar?
Both Greek and Latin belong to branches of the Indo-European language family, which does not necessarily make them all too similar, since these two branches are radically different. Latin belongs to the Romance branch (the ancestor of so many modern languages such as Spanish, Italian, French, etc.)
