GREECE GLOSSARY

2026-01-23

After I have spent much time on it, my glossary of ancient Greece finally goes online. It comprises 1748 keywords with 2480 entries from ancient Greek mythology, history and culture, geography, architecture, and archaeology (a keyword e.g. in mythology may present more than one personage). Each keyword is accompanied by a colour code indicating the category.

The glossary was compiled in several years from many different sources which I cannot all quote (a common practice in lexical compilations). However, all photographs and graphics are my own work.

A remark about mythology. Usually there are different traditions, often contradictory, about the same personage. To limit the text, I have then picked out the most common version, fully aware that there are also other, mostly local traditions.
