Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-03 00:00:00 Everett Dague A really neat, thick, dense handbook. Lillian Feder provides reasonably detailed synopses of most of the major Ancient Greek and Roman texts, as well as brief looks at mythological and real figures. It is, of course, only a starting point, and it's designed kind of like an encyclopedia - but as Feder points out in her introduction, this is actually what she's trying to achieve. A very good basic reference point for people studying or interested in these texts, even as a kind of Cliff's Notes summary if you're reading one and are a little stuck!

Review # 2 was written on 2007-09-11 00:00:00 Clay Morganparks decent reference for when you're reading ancient greek/roman lit or need to brush up on your mythology.
