1000 Mythological Characters Briefly Described
Adapted to Private Schools, High Schools and Academies
1000 Mythological Characters Briefly Described, published in 1899, is a compact dictionary by Edward Sylvester Ellis intended for students in private and high schools. In alphabetical order it gives a few lines each on the gods, heroes, monsters and places of Greek and Roman mythology, with entries also for Norse, Egyptian and Hindu figures, so that a reader meeting Alecto, Mnemosyne or Yggdrasil in a poem can find out at once who or what is meant. Ellis was a prolific writer of dime novels and school histories, and the book makes no claim to scholarship; it is a quick reference of the kind every classroom once kept, and still answers most questions a reader of the classics will ask. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
