Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol. 1 of 3More space, relatively, has been given to the Greek and Roman Writers than to any other articles, partly because we have no complete history of Greek and Roman Literature in the English language, and partly because the writings of modern German scholars contain on this subject more than on any other a store of valuable matter which has not yet found its way into English books, and has, hitherto, only partially and in a few instances, exercised any influence on our course of classical instruction. In these articles a full account of the Works, as well as of the Lives, of the Writers is given, and, likewise, a list of the best editions of the works, together with references to the principal modern works upon each subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
