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.
