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.
