Sobre el libro The Oxford Dictionary of Classical Myth and Religion de ed. Emily Kearns i ed. Simon Price publicado por Oxford al 2003:

This book offers a fully rounded (and highly authoritative) point of access to all aspects of ancient religious life and thought. Dr Simon Price and Dr Emily Kearns, area advisers for the third edition of "The Oxford Classical Dictionary", have come together to select, revise, edit and in some cases wholly recast, a large number of key entries from "The Oxford Classical Dictionary" to create this handy, accessible reference work on mythology and religion in the Graeco-Roman world. The dictionary provides students, teachers and general readers with a comprehensive and wide-ranging A-Z reference source. In addition to Greek myths and Roman festivals, it covers Greek and Roman religious places, monuments, religious personnel, divination, astrology and magic, and contains many entries on Judaism and Christianity in Greek and Roman times.
Contents: Mythology - Panhellenic, Local and Roman; Religious Pluralism - Greek Religions, Roman Religions, Judaisms, Christianities; Reception of Myths - Antiquity to the Present.
