Classical Mythology A to Z

This is a fairly large book with entries for lots of mythological people, things, and places from stories. It is as described. Somehow, I was hoping for more. I browsed to my favorite characters to read the entries, and I read many of the other entries. I really enjoy myths and mythology, and I want to have a reason for this book, but I did not get additional value from it. I would have liked to see more mappings of “families/trees” (there is one) and more actual maps of places (real and imagined).

When we seek out a reference text, it is often because we want more. Perhaps if each entry included a bibliography of where to find more information (or acknowledgement that this is all we know) or if it included a short list of stories where the people/thing/place is in context.
