Reviews

"The thoroughly revised third edition of The Oxford Classical Dictionary is a splendid work of reference. Besides traditional topics in classics, its interdisciplinary approach offers new or greatly expanded coverage of formerly slighted subjects....Essential."--Choice

"A masterpiece of classical scholarship and research.... The tremendous resources it contains could be very helpful for adult Sunday School teachers, pastors and others to help liven up lessons with accurate historical, archaeological, and other interesting information that is not readily available in most books and commentaries."--Books in Review
