Included are several hundred alphabetically arranged entries for the gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, and places of classical myth and legend. Each entry includes a brief account of the myth, with reference to the Greek and Latin sources.

Each entry includes a bibliography and the volume concludes with appendices and an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources.
