What is the LGPN?
The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names was established in 1972 as a
Major Research Project of the British Academy.
.
The overall objective of the LGPN project is to create a
comprehensive and authoritative record of the names of all
individuals attested in Greek (or with Greek names attested in
Latin) in the ancient Greek-speaking world, and so provide the
classical research community world-wide with a unique and
fundamental resource for the study of all aspects of the ancient
. Greek world.
. .
.
The papers from LGPN’s two international conferences have
been published: Greek Personal Names: their Value as Evidence,
eds. S. Hornblower, E. Matthews (2000); — Old and New Worlds
in Greek Onomastics, ed. E. Matthews (2007).
