very useful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Much better than the older version "The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature"( by Sir Paul Harvey ). Although it has neither maps nor illustrations , it contains more abundant entries & contents.I recommend the book for everybody from a young puppil to an aged scholar.
