Greaterbooks.com: Classics of the Ancient World

A special challenge for the classicists. This is a much expanded version of my recent "Greaterbooks.com" challenges. Specifically, I've included books from "The Master List" that date from prehistory to 8 AD and that also appear on at least 3 of 47 source lists used at that site.
The books are in alphabetical order by author's name; then, within authors, in descending order of number of appearances on "The Master List". Finally books with the same number of appearances are arranged alphabetically.
