Over 6,200 entries
For almost half a century, ''The Oxford Classical Dictionary'' has been regarded as the unrivalled one-volume reference work on all aspects of the Graeco-Roman world. It provides both scholars and non-specialists with a comprehensive source of reference which aims to answer all their questions about the classical world. Written by the very best of classical scholars from all over the world, the Dictionary provides coverage of [[Greek]] and [[Roman]] [[history]], [[literature]], [[myth]], [[religion]], [[linguistics]], [[philosophy]], [[law]], [[science]], [[art]] and [[archaeology]], and topics in near eastern studies and late antiquity.
The approach is interdisciplinary: all areas, regions, and cultures are represented beyond the core areas of Greece and Rome. As well as providing factual [[information]], the Dictionary contains many thematic entries on subjects relevant to the 21st century such as [[nationalism]], [[race]], and [[ecology]]. The [[text]] is written in an accessible style and all [[Latin]] and [[Greek]] [[words]] have been translated.
