Monument to defy time,
This review is from: Bell's New Pantheon Or Historical Dictionary of the Gods, Demi Gods, Heroes and Fabulous Personages of Antiquity (Paperback)
A rare work of genius - hundreds of years before Edith Hamiliton's famous book Mythology, John Bell wrote this very interesting reference guide to all things mythical. A must have for anyone who is in interested in classical literature.
