[Praise for the first edition] “The Dictionary of Classical Mythology is exemplary, indeed the best I have consulted … clearly and engagingly written … it not only gives reliable answers but also encourages reading on.” Simon Goldhill, Times Literary Supplement

“a prodigious, authoritative gazetteer, each entry both typographically and stylistically readable.” Nicholas Lezard, Guardian Book of the Week

“Greek myths pervade our own art and literature almost as much as they influenced that of classical times, and this will be an invaluable guide.” The Good Book Guide

• Comprehensive coverage of Greek and Roman mythology encompassing all major myths and characters, and minor figures • Concise and readable text, engagingly written • Extensive translations from ancient authors that give life to the narratives • 172 beautiful line-drawings, new to this edition • Index of recurring mythical motifs, new to this edition, plus the more important genealogies

Jenny March’s acclaimed Dictionary of Classical Mythology, first published in 1998 but long out of print, has been extensively revised and expanded including a completely new set of beautiful line-drawing illustrations for this Oxbow edition. It is a comprehensive A – Z guide to Greek and Roman mythology. All major myths, legends and fables are here, including gods and goddesses, heroes and villains, dangerous women, legendary creatures and monsters. Characters such as Achilles and Odysseus have extensive entries, as do epic journeys and heroic quests, like that of Jason and the Argonauts to win the Golden Fleece, all alongside a plethora of information on the creation of the cosmos, the many metamorphoses of gods and humans, and the Trojan War, plus more minor figures – nymphs, seers, kings, rivers, to name but a few. In this superbly authoritative work the myths are brilliantly retold, along with any major variants, and with extensive translations from ancient authors that give life to the narratives and a sense of the vibrant cultures that shaped the development of classical myth. The 172 illustrations give visual immediacy to the words, by showing how ancient artists perceived their gods and heroes. The impact of myths

on ancient art is also explored, as is their influence in the 482 Triton Triton 483 post-classical arts, emphasising the ongoing inspiration afforded by the ancient myths. Also included are two maps of the ancient world, a list

of the ancient sources and their chronology, the more Fig. 165. Triptolemus, holding stalks of grain, sits on a wheeled, winged throne. Demeter (left) and Persephone, holding torches, attend his departure to spread knowledge of agriculture among mortals.

Documentary Sources in Ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman Economic History Methodology and Practice Edited by Heather D. Baker & Michael Jursa This volume breaks new ground in approaching the Ancient Economy by bringing together documentary sources from Mesopotamia and the Greco-Roman world. Addressing textual corpora that have traditionally been studied separately, the collected papers overturn the conventional view of a fundamental divide between the economic institutions of these two regions. The volume covers the following topics: Babylonian house size data as an index of urban living standards; the Old Babylonian archives as a source for economic history; Middle Bronze Age long distance trade in Anatolia; long-term economic development in Babylonia from the 7th to the 4th century BC; legal institutions and agrarian change in the Roman Empire; papyrological evidence for water-lifting technology; money circulation and monetization in Late Antique Egypt; the application of Social Network Analysis to Babylonian cuneiform archives; price trends in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, as well as the effects of locust plagues on prices. 9781782977582, £38.00, Oct 2014, HB, 336p, b/w illustrations, Oxbow Books

AD 410 The History and Archaeology of Late and Post-Roman Britain Edited by Fiona K. Haarer, Rob Collins, Keith J. Fitzpatrick-Matthews, Sam Moorhead, David Petts & Philippa Jane Walton As part of its centenary celebrations in 2010, the Roman Society organised a number of conferences across the UK exploring the theme of AD 410 and the “End of Roman Britain”. This volume contains a selection of 16 papers delivered at these conferences, tackling the debate from different angles (historical, archaeological, literary) and setting out the current state of research. An introduction by Simon Esmonde Cleary serves to set the volume in the context of the study of Roman Britain over the last forty years, since the inception of the Society’s journal, Britannia, and a conclusion by Martin Millett highlights some of the key issues raised in the volume, and points to possible ways forward for future studies. 9780907764403, £36.00, Sep 2014, HB, 240p, Roman Society Publications
