Description

Praised by playwright Arthur Miller as "a delight for anyone with any curiosity about the roots of our Western culture" and by Booklist as "the single most heavily used book on classical studies," The Oxford Classical Dictionary is without doubt the definitive one-volume resource on ancient Greece and Rome. Now this redoubtable classic is available in electronic form on CD-ROM. Here are over six thousand A to Z entries, ranging from long articles to biographies to brief identifications. Readers can find information on virtually any aspect of the classical world--athletics, bee-keeping, botany, magic, Roman law, philosophy, religious rites, postal service, slavery, navigation, and the reckoning of time. And with the OCD on CD-ROM, readers can find this information in seconds. Both the thousand-page volume and the CD-ROM are available as a package, with the CD included in a sleeve in the inside back cover of the book. Together they make an unparalleled resource for anyone interested in Greece or Rome. Read more

  • The best classical dictionary
Format: Hardcover
Although it is the "BEST" Classical Dictionary written in English ,it doesn't contain the sources of original Greek et Latin texts of each article nor the Greek alphabet-spelling for each entry, and even we cannot find the marks which indicate whether the vowel is long or short, nor the accentuation ... Therefore in Japanese standard , we cannot call it " the best Classical Dictionary ". When we compile the Classical Dictionary, we must write every linguistic-form of each entry ; e.g. a proper noun of Greek like PLATON or ARISTOTELES , at first we show , of course in Japanese following the genuine "Erasmic" pronunciation , and next in romanized Greek, and in original Greek, et in Latine, und in Italian,French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, English, Hebraic, Arabian, Turkish, Sanskrit, Persian, Chinese, etc. etc. and of course the sources of every article as much as we can. So, if you can read the German language, I recommend you the famous Pauly's REAL-ENKYKLOPAEDIA. ... show more
