Description
Book SynopsisThis dictionary of classical mythology distills into brief form a single-source dictionary of Ancient Greek and Roman myths and legends. This concise version covers virtually all major characters, and eight genealogical tables present the principal complex relationships between gods and men.
Trade Review"This substantial and attractive book should be warmly welcomed . . . a work at once authoritative and complete with an impressive standard of accuracy: the generous cross-referencing given makes browsing an almost mandatory pleasure, and it will indeed be a learned reader who does not find something he did not previously know on almost every page."
Times Literary Supplement
"There has been nothing in English like Grimal's authoritative dictionary... this text will be an essential source for specialists and general readers alike... invaluable and sorely needed." Library Journal
