Book Description

Excerpt from A Manual of Classical Mythology, or a Companion to the Greek and Latin Poets: Designed Chiefly to Explain Words, Phrases and Epithets, From the Fables and Traditions to Which They Refer Not merely for facility of reference, but in order to include Proper Names of minor importance, the author has spared no pains to construct a complete lexicon-index, extending to one hundred and twenty pages, double columns, and presenting at one view all the Classical Illustrations occurring in the text, as well as the etymologies of the various Names and Epithets. This Index, with the aid of the text, supplies all such informa tion on Mythology (and incidentally on Geography) as is usually supplied in Classical Dictionaries.
