The OLD is a more recent dictionary, and better researched, designed, and suited for the study of classical antiquity, than Lewis and Short’s below. It is not freely accessible online. (EXCEPTION: Davidson has a subscription to Oxford Scholarly Editions Online. If you are reading a Latin text via that platform, you can highlight a Latin word and get the option of seeing the definition in the OLD. You can then search freely for any Latin words within that popup window.)

Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon (9/e 1940) is the most comprehensive and up-to-date ancient Greek dictionary in the world. The main dictionary covers every surviving ancient Greek author and text discovered up to 1940, from the Pre-Classical Greek of the 11C - 8C BC (for example Homer and Hesiod), through Classical Greek (7C - 5C BC) to the Hellenistic Period, including the Greek Old and New Testaments. Entries list irregular inflections, and together with the definition, each sense includes citations from Greek authors illustrating usage. The 1996 supplement is also included. The Lexicon is Greek into English only, as are other ancient Greek dictionaries.

See also The Online Liddell-Scott-Jones Greek-English Lexicon (1961 ed.) This edition includes links to the front matter and abbreviations of the authors and titles.

The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek 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.

The Cambridge Greek Lexicon is based upon principles differing from those of existing Greek lexica. Entries are organised according to meaning, with a view to showing the developing senses of words and the relationships between those senses. The editors have systematically re-examined the source material and have made use of the most recent textual and philological scholarship.

The new edition lists more than 25,000 additional references to classical, intertestamental, Early Christian, and modern literature.
