A Comprehensive Dictionary of Gods, Goddesses, Demigods, and Other Subjects in Greek and Roman Mythology

A library information specialist, Glick identifies figures and other aspects of classical mythology, the articles ranging from a substantial paragraph through a short phrase to a mere cross-reference to a better known name. Even the shortest, however, include two guides to pronunciation. That feature and its succinctness—compared to standard mythology references that contain the stories themselves—compensate for the lack of an introduction and index.
