Description
Words and phrases are cited alphabetically, and extensively cross-referenced and indexed for reader who know the gist but not the first word, that are widely used and drawn from the Bible; from Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology; and somewhat from Egyptian and Celtic sources. All the sources predate AD 1000. The articles not only identify the source, but explain the context and provide an example of its modern use. A companion covers cultural and historical allusions.
