A wonderful book for Ancient Greek/Roman mythology. - Rated
I believe that this book is full of valuable information that can be used to understand Greek/Roman mythology. It has useful information and it is somewhat reliable. If you need information for a report, I advise for you to use another book for more thourough points.

Detailed and thorough - an ideal reference - Rated
This is my favorite reference to Greek and Roman mythology. The dictionary has entries on religious festivals (Volturnalia), places (Pelion), well-known mortals (Odysseus), mortals few have heard of (Halirrhothius), and, of course, the Greek gods and the Roman gods. Each appellation has its own entry, with a reference to one of its other counterparts in different cultures. This also serves to keep the Roman versions of whatever divinity and the Greek versions of the same divinity straight. Definitely worth the money.
