Praised by playwright Arthur Miller as delight for anyone with any curiosity about roots of our Western culture and by Booklist as the single most heavily used book on classical studies, The Oxford Classical Dictionary is without doubt definitive single-volume resource on ancient Greece and Rome. Now this redoubtable classic is available in electronic form on CD-ROM. Here are over six thousand A to Z entries, ranging from long articles to biographies to brief identifications. Readers can find information on virtually any aspect of classical world--athletics, bee-keeping, botany, magic, Roman law, philosophy, religious rites, postal service, slavery, navigation, and reckoning of time. And with OCD on CD-ROM, readers can find this information in seconds. Both thousand-page volume and CD-ROM are available as a package, with CD included in a sleeve in inside back cover of book. Together they make an unparalleled resource for anyone interested in Greece or Rome
