The Dictionary of Classical Mythology is meant as a companion to the ancient Greek and Roman myths and legends. The story of every character, whether human or divine, major or minor, is retold here, detailing every version and variation. Naiads, dryads, hamadryads, nymphs, fauns, satyrs and centaurs - the different types of mythological figures are distinguiashed and fitted into the overall pattern of legendary events, and the places where these happened, such as Olympus, Arcadia, Troy, Crete and Parnassus are identified and described.
Forty genealogical tables (at the end of this index) explain the complex and often bizarre relationships between interlocking families of gods and men. An exhaustive section of reference lists every mention of each character in the classical literature. It's fascinating reading - enjoy.
A special thanks to the following for their motivation and editorial help: Apatrix, Pseudo_Intellectual, schist, whizkid.
