Oxford Classical Dictionary

Recommended Posts

The Oxford Classical Dictionary, 3rd edition.

 

Edited by Simon Hornblower and Antony Spawforth

 

 

In a previous review I outlined Handbook to Life in Ancient Rome by the two Adkins brothers, as well as their companion volume on Greece. Those two books together constitute a handy and affordable compendium on classical society.

 

However, if you want to get really serious, consider buying the latest edition of the Oxford Classical Dictionary. This a monster of a reference that leaves no stone in antiquity overturned. There are no pictures, no diagrams. Just 1640 pages of articles written by the very best experts from around the world. The reader will find hundreds of entries in alphabetical order. Topics are taken from the major areas of the classical world: Politics and History, Military, Economy and Society, Religion and Mythology, Geography, Science, Law and Government, Philosophy and the Arts.
