1 One-volume works include The Blackwell Companions to Greek Religion (edited by Ogden) and to Roman Religion (edited by Rüpke) both published in 2007; the Oxford Dictionary of Classical Myth and Religion (edited Kearns and Price 2003 using material from Oxford Classical Dictionary3  first published in 1996). I declare an interest as a contributor to the forthcoming Routledge Dictionary of Ancient Mediterranean Religions (edited by Orlin, Fried, Satlow and Knust) which also includes thematic entries. Those with very broad interests will consult the marvellous Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Ritual and Religion (edited by Insoll in 2011). Religion Past and Present, the English translation of the fourth edition of Brill's 13 volume encyclopaedia Religion und Geschichte und Gegenwart, is due to appear imminently.
