Who’s Who in Classical Mythology.
MICHAEL GRANT and JOHN HAZEL.
It is nearly thirty years since the first publication of this book in a glossy illustrated
coffee-table format by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. It has spent most of its career since then
in paperback format, and has passed through the hands of several publishers before
coming to land with Taylor & Francis. It has proved a vigorous creature and fully
justified the faith we had in it at its first launch. The stories it contains are told in a
straightforward, intelligible manner, and are certainly capable of being enjoyed by people
of any age. We believe it will also provide useful to serious students of literature and
other disciplines when they wish to refer to the characters and plots of the ancient myths.
The text is the same as that originally published with but a few minor corrections. We
consider that it covers its subject in a sufficiently comprehensive manner and trust that it
will continue to find a useful place on the shelves of those engaged in classical studies.
