'offers not only that breakfast for the mind we keep hearing about, but lunch, tea, dinner, supper and non-stop snacks...offers a cornucopia of accurate and succinct knowledge that would be hard to equal' (Peter Green, Washington Times about the third edition). For over sixty years, The Oxford Classical Dictionary has been the unrivalled one-volume reference in the field of classics. Now completely revised and updated to include the very latest research findings, developments, and publications, this highly acclaimed reference work will be the most up-to-date and comprehensive dictionary available on all aspects of the classical era. In over 6,700 entries written by the very best of classical scholars from around the world, the Dictionary provides coverage of Greek and Roman history, literature, myth, religion, linguistics, philosophy, law, science, art, archaeology, near eastern studies, and late antiquity. New entries supplement the existing material, including entries on topics such as Adrasteia, Latin anthologies, Jewish art, ancient religious beliefs, emotions, film, gender, kinship, and many more. Other specific developments include an added focus on two new areas: 'anthropology ' and 'reception'. All entries are written in an accessible style and all Latin and Greek words have been translated to ensure ease of use. Under the editorship of Simon Hornblower, Antony Spawforth, and Esther Eidinow, a huge range of contributors have revised and updated the text, which has made an already outstanding work even better. The Dictionary covers: 1) politics, government, economy - from political figures to political systems, terms and practices, histories of major states and empires, economic theory, agriculture, artisans and industry, trade and markets 2) religion and mythology - deities and mythological creatures, beliefs and rituals, sanctuaries and sacred buildings, astrology 3) law and philosophy - from biographies of lawgivers and lawyers to legal terms and procedures, from major and minor philosophers to philosophical schools, terms, and concepts 4) science and geography - scientists and specific theory and practice, doctors and medicine, climate and landscape, natural disasters, regions and islands, cities and settlements, communications 5) languages, literature, art, and architecture - languages and dialects, writers and literary terms and genres, orators and rhetorical theory and practice, drama and performance, art, painters and sculptors, architects, buildings and materials 6) archaeology and historical writing - amphorae and pottery, shipwrecks and cemeteries, historians, and Greek and Roman historiography 7) military history - generals, arms and armour, famous battles, attitudes to warfare 8) social history, sex, and gender - women and the family, kinship, peasants and slaves, attitudes to sexuality

固然权威,实在槽点太多;集体编写的作品品控难做,但至少应该做到体例一致,不应该有些词条是提纲式写作,有些是叙事体写作。详略不一就不说了。我们需要怎样的古典术语翻译应该考虑表音体系音译的自然性(英法德意西,俄语,甚至是日语的平假名),而汉语的拼写传统实在是另一个问题,不可忽视。

夯人神器,健身必备。豆瓣应该添加个“用过”或者“经常用”的选项。

只能说用过吧,虽说经常没事儿也“读”。一些不足之处很多人都说过,但还是要说确实算好用,英文世界也没见有另外一本可以代替的。一本1600页的书,健身效果远逊400页的普拉多.....也算优点吧Orz

一边做文献综述一边补分。非常实用的古典学工具书,但比之Brill百科全书,内容还是比较简单。

回国以后就买了一本。偶尔觉得幸运了,就随便翻一页看个词条也挺有意思的。作为百科全书,可读性非常强。

提要自然不能代替进深阅读,但是提要还是必要的。
