`an established and indispensable part of the armoury of research tools available to both philologists and historians ... particular strength of LGPN ... is, the way in which it unites data from the literary tradition with the epigraphic material ... the Lexicon provides a consolidated and comprehensive survey of a kind that, for some areas, has not been available since the indices of the now antiquated Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum; as such the LGPN is an enormous boon to a wide range of potential users ... the LGPN continues to become ever more useful as it develops and grows. In short, it ought now to be an essential feature of any serious research library for classical philology and related fields.' R W B Salway, Bryn Mawr Classical Review.
