About Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Volumes I–IIIThe three-volume Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology provides an excellent resource for identifying significant figures mentioned by ancient Roman and Greek writers.

Gleaning knowledge from distinguished authorities and scholars of the day from institutions such as Cambridge and Oxford, this work is a valuable compilation of classical scholarship.

A comprehensive dictionary, it includes the names of all person of any importance which occur in the ancient Greek and Roman writers. |
