Description
Diodorus Siculus' Library of History is a comprehensive work of ancient Greek history, spanning from mythical times to 54 BCE. The text is divided into three parts, covering the history of non-Greek and Greek peoples up to the Trojan War, followed by accounts of Alexander's reign and its aftermath, and finally, a survey of events from 480 to 302 BCE. The Library of History consists of forty books, with complete volumes surviving for Books I-V and XI-XX. The remaining fragments provide valuable insights into the works of other ancient authors, such as Ephorus, Apollodorus, and Timaeus. This edition is part of the Loeb Classical Library series, offering a reliable translation of Diodorus' original text. As an important source for understanding ancient history, the Library of History provides unique details not found elsewhere and sheds light on lost works.
