4.0 out of 5 stars
Cool for quick references, but not for hardcore analysts, October 19, 2002
This review is from: Dictionary of Mythology (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great desk-side quick-reference of mythology, though its focus and the lack of depth of the entries may keep hardcore analysts in fits. It's a great for the fast and dirty look-ups but the entries typcially read as merely good introductions for deeper research elsewhere for anyone looking for deep analysis of the entries.
Solid and a perfect price, and likely just fine for most readers and students, but maybe a little light for writers or researchers. Great for backpacking, though.

By A Customer
This review is from: Dictionary of Mythology (Mass Market Paperback)
The Dictionary of Mythology will let you dazzle your friends with long lost information about all those gods, myths and stories you've heard about but never quite got around to reading. All you need is this book and a book of quotations and you'll be prepared to make a memorable speech for any occasion.
