A remarkably complete compendium of modern scholarship on all aspects of Ancient Greek and Roman civilization, The Oxford Classical Dictionary includes entries on individual names, events, and places as well as survey articles that provide literary and historical context. For the second edition, virtually every article was revised or replaced to reflect recent discoveries in the field. Concise bibliographies at the end of most articles as well as a general bibliography at the end of the book provide excellent sources for further reading. And, for easy access, an index of words not used as headwords refers readers to articles where the appropriate information can be found. Scholarly enough for specialists, yet lucid and easy to use, The Oxford Classical Dictionary is an ideal reference for anyone interested in the classical world.
