Even for a English only biblio-list, there is one important omission,
i.e. Lampe, which is the necessary supplement for LSJ (it was
intended as such). If you are willing to consult non English
bibliography, you will find in DGE many testimonies you will not find
in LSJ (this is specially true for papyri, epigraphy and the less
common authors) and a new arrangement of the entries. For Homer and
the language of the Epos, the Lexikon des fruehgriechischen Epos is
superb; And outside the actual coverage of DGE (A-DIWN) you'll need:
for extra biblical papyri, Preisigke Woerterbuch and its epigoni, and
for epigraphy... well... you will have to peruse many volumes like
the SEG indices, Robert's Bulletin Epigraphique, etc

There is a nice bibliography of Greek lexica at the Bibliotheca
Classica Selecta http://bcs.fltr.ucl.ac.be/DicLanAGr.html and at
http://bcs.fltr.ucl.ac.be/EpiB4.html you'll find some of the most
important epigraphical indices and lexica.
