Description
Antiquity's most influential mythological handbook. The Library provides in three books a grand summary of traditional Greek mythology and heroic legends. Written in clear and unaffected style, it faithfully follows the Greek literary sources. This work is attributed to Apollodorus of Athens, but its text was likely written by an author living in the first or second century AD. The book's value lies in its importance as a record of Greek accounts of the world's origin and early history. It also provides valuable notes for comparison with other ancient writers' versions of these stories. For those interested in understanding traditional Greek mythology, this handbook is an essential resource.
