The only work of its kind to survive from classical antiquity, the
Library of Apollodorus is a unique guide to Greek mythology, from
the origins of the universe to the Trojan War.
Apollodorus' Library has been used as a source book by classicists
from the time of its compilation in the 1st-2nd century BC to the
present, influencing writers from antiquity to Robert Graves. It
provides a complete history of Greek myth, telling the story of
each of the great families of heroic mythology, and the various
adventures associated with the main heroes and heroines, from Jason
and Perseus to Heracles and Helen of Troy. As a primary source for
Greek myth, as a reference work, and as an indication of how the
Greeks themselves viewed their mythical traditions, the Library is
indispensable to anyone who has an interest in classical mythology.
Robin Hard's accessible and fluent translation is supplemented by
comprehensive notes, a map and full genealogical tables. The
introduction gives a detailed account of the Library's sources and
situates it within the fascinating narrative traditions of Greek
mythology.
