| | Graves himself notes the consistency with which Electra is favourably contrasted with her weak-willed sister Chrysothemis: when Aegisthus forces Electra into marriage with a Mycenaean peasant, hoping to humble her into "accept[ing] her fate" [6] as her sister had done, he succeeds only in strengthening her resolve and intensifying her desire for vengeance. | | | The final line of The Oxford Classical Dictionary's entry on Electra asserts: "It is fairly clear that the development of [Electra's] story is due to the poets... | | | From this dearth of factual tradition, however, myriad poetic and mythic traditions of Electra have sprung -- among these both the desperate and monomaniacal women inventoried in The Oxford Classical Dictionary and the fierce, tenacious and resolute figure of Robert Graves" The Greek Myths. |

| | The Oxford Classical Dictionary (OCD) was considered to be the best one-volume dictionary on antiquity, but the second edition (1970) was getting on a bit, not only concerning the level of current research, but also the fact that the second edition of the OCD contained much taken over from the first edition (1949). | | | But many questions of Classics and ancient history can be answered with it and it is really good value. | | | For instance, "Achilleus Tatios" in DNP doesn't mention a translation -- the OCD presents two English and one German translation. |

| | It is a rare occasion that I find colleagues making efficient pedagogical use of OCD, perhaps because of the sneaking suspicion that a professional shouldn't be too familiar with an elementary reference work as well as the invisibility that obvious things in plain sight naturally have. | | | These are the lemmata which make the third edition so outstanding with comparison to the second. | | | As a result, some students remark upon leaving that they have at times experienced difficulties seeing the forest for the trees. |
