SEBASTIANVS
5.0 out of 5 stars very useful book
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2001
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.

As a Classics teacher with a PhD, this is the book I recommend to all my A level students; and I still make use of it myself. An invaluable classical reference book, not only covering literature, but also history, philosophy & religion, etc. Furthermore, it makes fascinating & easy reading for the non-student/-specialist who wishes to learn more about the wonderful worlds of ancient Greece & Rome.

Got a confirmation from Amazon that the product was dispatched. A day later I received a notice from the seller that the product is out of stock. 1 week after it was ordered and paid for.
