From Library Journal
There has been nothing in English like Grimal's authoritative dictionary of Greek and Roman mythological figures. Now translated, this text will be an essential source for specialists and general readers alike. Alphabetized, biographical entries are comprehensive, careful to indicate historical and literary context, free from ideology, and readable. Each entry provides extremely useful bibliographic references to ancient literature. Forty genealogical tables, two maps, cross-references, a full index, and illustrations further enhance the utility of this invaluable and sorely needed source.
