The
Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (abbreviated LIMC) is a
multi-volume encyclopedia cataloguing representations of mythology in
the plastic arts of classical antiquity. Published serially from 1981 to
2009, it is the most extensive resource of its kind, providing "full
and detailed information." Entries are arranged alphabetically, with
black-and-white illustrations indexed to their respective
entries.
The work was
prepared by international scholars from nearly 40 countries[6] who
contributed in their language of choice, resulting in entries written
variously in English, German, French, or Italian. LIMC also offers a
multilingual online database that is updated independently of the print
publication.
LIMC has been called an "indispensable research instrument," "monumental," and "magnificent."
In the United States, LIMC is based at the Alexander Library of Rutgers University.
