reference for individuals and libraries alike." --Library Journal
(starred review)
"The Oxford name has authority in reference circles, but the
invariable question in these days of easy web access is whether the
price of the print work is justified. The answer, in the case of
The Oxford Classical Dictionary, is a resounding yes. ... A
brilliant starting place for research into just about any facet of
classics one can think of, with a depth and richness of
cross-referencing that makes it an ideal and elegant tool."
--Booklist (starred review)
"Scholarly and succinct, The Oxford Classical Dictionary is itself
a classic. Perhaps the most appropriate encomium is that it remains
the source of first resort for novices and experts alike. Summing
Up: Essential." --Choice
"Authoritative and informative, the work is the best single-volume
classical dictionary in English and an essential desktop reference
... It truly has, as its editors claim, 'no competitor in any
language.'" --MLA Literary Research Guide
