Diodorus Siculus, Greek historian of Agyrium in Sicily, ca.
80-20 BCE, wrote forty books of world history, called "Library of
History, " in three parts: mythical history of peoples, non-Greek
and Greek, to the Trojan War; history to Alexander's death (323
BCE); history to 54 BCE. Of this we have complete Books I-V
(Egyptians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Greeks) and Books XI-XX (Greek
history 480-302 BCE); and fragments of the rest. He was an
uncritical compiler, but used good sources and reproduced them
faithfully. He is valuable for details unrecorded elsewhere, and as
evidence for works now lost, especially writings of Ephorus,
Apollodorus, Agatharchides, Philistus, and Timaeus.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Diodorus Siculus is in
twelve volumes.
