THIS excellent book was first published in 1937. This third edition has been updated with the expansion and change in a widening scholarship very much in mind.

New topics have been incorporated and they add to what we already acknowledge as our debt to the literature of the classical world. The wealth of knowledge that abounds from the Greek and Roman worlds is immense but, with great skill, it is brought together and presented alphabetically to leave us with an erudite, informative and readable text.
