Description
Antiquity's most influential mythological handbook is presented in three books. This comprehensive summary of traditional Greek mythology and heroic legends was written in clear and unaffected style, faithfully following the Greek literary sources. The work provides an important record of Greek accounts of the origin and early history of the world and their race. Its authorship is attributed to Apollodorus of Athens, but the text as we have it was likely written by a different individual, probably living in the first or second century AD. For those interested in exploring ancient Greek mythology, this two-volume set offers valuable insights into the stories and legends that shaped the ancient world.
