Symbol Dictionaries

Except for Symbols.com, which only covers western graphic symbols, none of these sites is overly impressive or can match the basic reference books on the topic, so don't give up on your old library just yet.

• Symbols.com -- dictionary of Western graphic symbols
• Dictionary of Symbolism -- short paragraph answers to common items

Also try:

• Encyclopedia Mythica
• Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable -- 1894 edition
