Dictionary of Classical Mythology

Pierre Grimal, born in Paris in 1912, was Professor at the Faculté des Lettres at the Sorbonne until 1982 and is the author of many works of classical scholarship.

"This substantial and attractive book should be warmly welcomed . . . a work at once authoritative and complete with an impressive standard of accuracy: the generous cross-referencing given makes browsing an almost mandatory pleasure, and it will indeed be a learned reader who does not find something he did not previously know on almost every page." Times Literary Supplement "There has been nothing in English like Grimal's authoritative dictionary... this text will be an essential source for specialists and general readers alike... invaluable and sorely needed." Library Journal
