Description

About The Book : Since the publication of the older edition so much additional knowledge has been acquired in most branches of classical study that it has been found necessary, not merely to alter, but practically to rewrite many of the articles : this applies particularly to the articles on Mythology, and to many of those on Topography. Several new plans and maps have been inserted to illustrate the articles on those places which are most important in Greek and Roman literature. Among these are the map of the Troad and that of Syracuse, which is based upon one in Freeman's Sicily. For the alterations in the map of Athens, and for the description of the city, much help has been derived from Miss Harrison's Mythology and Monuments of Athens, horn Dr. Lolling' s treatise, and from Professor Gardner's New Chapters in Greek History, from which book also the plans of Tiryns, Eleusis, and Olympia, with much valuable information, have been taken.
