The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature

An authoritative and richly detailed reference to Greek and Roman literature, bringing together major authors, works, myths and ideas from the classical world.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine love of literature, history, philosophy and the ideas behind great storytelling. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Edited by M. C. Howatson, The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature brings together the writers, works, mythology, philosophy and cultural traditions of ancient Greece and Rome in one substantial reference volume.

Clear individual entries make it useful for researching a particular author, text or subject, while its breadth also makes it rewarding simply to browse and discover the connections between classical literature, drama, poetry, mythology and history.

A valuable reference book for students, researchers and readers interested in classical literature, ancient history and the enduring influence of Greek and Roman culture.
