The Dictionary of Classical Mythology by Robert E. Bell

The Dictionary of Classical Mythology was a wonderful book. I once did a project on Hermes, a Greek Messenger and Robert E. Bell's book really helped me find wonderful information on my topic. He really explains everything so well. Ever since I read his book I have really liked Greek Mythology. I know I am only a teen-age girl, but I really liked learning about this. I really recommend this book to anyone that is willing to learn about Greek Mythology or just needs information on a project.

recommendable book

This is a very interesting topical dictionary of classical mythology. However most of accounts are requotations from older dictionaries or encyclopedias ,for example William Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography & Mythology. In addition I wonder the author really read original Greek and Latin texts, since there are many mistakes of sources or passages/chapter number of the authority.So I must advise readers "You should check the source by yourself". Admitting these weak points , it is a useful and readable book.
