While doing some research on ancient religious history I became aware that many recurrent terms and concepts were unknown to me. Also, although I had heard the names of most of the actors who shaped the history of that period, I knew little or nothing about them.
If only for no better reason I started to collect notes on both concepts and names. It was a very easy and pleasant task but, all the same, it took me a long time to do it.
I am aware that many concepts, and the biography of many important people,
are missing. I would be grateful to the readers to send me their comments;
I will take them into consideration in a second edition of this lexicon.
