I like Steadman because he provides the convenience of Perseus without the crutches, like having the forms of every word available just a click away. His versions are the ones I use to get myself back into things after too much time off. (I've been out of school for a while now and fighting to maintain or improve my Greek is a constant struggle.)
i dont really view it as crutches cause my goal mostly is just to read as much greek as possible rather than like become a master at parsing words or translating or whatever. but i dont think this is a particularly common opinion.
thanks for all this btw its really encouraging i hope i do some today
edit: also herodotus is probably the easiest shit ive ever read in greek and he's really fun too
steadman is great. i wish i could be comfortable reading stuff on websites cause e.g. perseus would make stuff a lot quicker
we actually used steadman's commentary on herodotus 7 in the fall semester. it was helpful.
Very cool. I haven't read Herodotus in Greek yet.
