A wonderful book for Ancient Greek/Roman mythology. - By: , 20 May 1999
I believe that this book is full of valuable information that can be used to understand Greek/Roman mythology. It has useful information & it is somewhat reliable. If you need information for a report, I advise for you to use another book for more thourough points.
Detailed and thorough - an ideal reference - By: , 15 May 1999
This is my favorite reference to Greek & Roman mythology. The dictionary has entries on religious festivals (Volturnalia), places (Pelion), well-known mortals (Odysseus), mortals few have heard of (Halirrhothius), and, of course, the Greek gods & the Roman gods. Each appellation has its own entry, with a reference to one of its other counterparts in different cultures. This also serves to keep the Roman versions of whatever divinity & the Greek versions of the same divinity straight. Definitely worth the money.
