Try Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology is a
3,700-page compendium of 19th century classical scholarship. The
Dictionary covers a dazzling array of historical characters, authors, gods
and heroes in great detail and depth.
The work is a companion to Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman
Antiquities (online here) and Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography
(coming soon). Although over a century old, it remains valuable.
Interpretations have changed, of course, but Smith's evidence is largely
the same as scholars have today. In detail, depth and particularly
citation of ancient texts, Smith's work compares very favorably with its
contemporary equivalent, the Oxford Classical Dictionary.
