The "Library" provides in three books a grand summary of
traditional Greek mythology and heroic legends. Written in clear
and unaffected style, the compendium faithfully follows the Greek
literary sources. It is thus an important record of Greek accounts
of the origin and early history of the world and their race. This
work has been attributed to Apollodorus of Athens (born "c." 180
BCE), a student of Aristarchus. But the text as we have it was
written by an author probably living in the first or second century
of our era.
In his highly valued notes to the Loeb Classical Library edition
(which is in two volumes) J. G. Frazer cites the principal passages
of other ancient writers where each particular story is told and
compares the various versions to those in the "Library."
