The Ad usum Delphini editions were 17th century monolingual paraphrases with L2 helps. The Latin ones are widely used and available, but according to the Wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_usum_Delphini
there were at least two Greek editions, for Homer and Aristophanes. After much googling I could not find these or any reference to these. Does anyone know where they might be found?
Ad usum Delphini editions for Greek texts?

Re: Ad usum Delphini editions for Greek texts?
The inclusion of Racine seems to be a mistake. Larousse's Grand dictionnaire universel du XIXe siècle quotes these verses of Racine as an example of "ad usum Delphini"-tactics but does not say that Racine was included in the collection. In fact, he explicitely states that the collection was one of Latin authors.
Given this, I supsect that Homer and Aristophane have found their way into the Wikipedia article because of some similar mistake.

I wonder whether they actually meant the Didot Greek-Latin editions:

Maybe your best bet would be to do searches on Google Books with
scholia graeca
or
cum scholiis
The latter brought up this Comoediæ duæ, Plutus & Nubes: cum scholiis Græcis antiquis: quibus .
Δεῖ σε μανθάνειν καὶ τὴν Ῥωμαϊκήν, ὦ φίλε Μᾶρκε.
