APPENDIX It is thought that some of those who wish to pursue further the subjects (apart from the j domain of the historians of Greece and Bome) which cannot be exhaustively dealt with in a booli of this size, may be helped by the follow- ing list of works. It is not intended to be anything approaching a complete bibliography on any of the departments included in this Dictionary. The object has been to name the more easily procurable books among modem authorities which wiU carry most students as far as they need, and will themselves furnish a more complete list of writers in all languages on their several subjects. To most of the books mentioned below the Editor has to acknowledge deep obligations for information, suggestions, or references. A. For Mythology;—Roscher's AusfuhrUches Lexikon der griechischen und riimischen Mythologie (which, however, as yet does not extend beyond letter K). [This is the best and fullest work which has yet appeared, though some of its most learned contributors are too prone to retain the meteorological explanation of myths, to the exclusion of that derived from customs and rites traceable in ' folk-lore.'} Preller-Plew's Grieohische Mythologie and Preller-Jordan's Bom. Myth. Great assistance and guidance may be obtained from Mann- hardt's Mythol. Forschungen and Wald- und Feldkulte, and from Lang's Custom, Myth and Bitual; also from Harrison's Mythology and Mo7iiiments of Athens, Frazer's Golden Bough, Dyer's Gods of Greece, and fi-om articles in Baumeister's Denkmciler (especially for the representation of mytliB in ancient art). B. For Topography Fuller information and more references wiU be found in Smith's Dic- tionary of Ancient Geography. See also Bun- bury i History of Ancient Geography, Kiepert's Ltelirbtich der alien Geographie and the Eng. lish translation. Among the more recent books lor particular countries and for the more im- portant towns are Ramsay's Historical Geo- ' graphy of Asia Minor, Tozer's Amienia and j Asia Minor, Torr's Bhodes in Ancient Times, Bent's Cyclades, Tozer's Islands of the Aegean, Harrison's Myth, and Man. of Athens, and Lolling's article on Athens, printed in Bau- meister's Denkmdler and in I.

For the divisions and arrangement of Roman Provinces see jVlomm- sen's Provinces of the Boman Empire and Marquardt's Handbuch, vol. iv. C. For Philosopliers:—ZeWex's Philosophie der Griechen, and the translations of his works Plato and the Older Academy and Outlines of Greek Philosop)hy; Lewes's History of Philo- sophy, Grote's Plato and Aristotle. D. For Artists:—A. S. Mun-ay's History of Greek Sculpture and Handbook of Greek Archaeology, and Overbeck's Geschichte der griechischen Plastik. [See also articles in Baumeister's Denkmdler.
