By Apollodorus

The Library, Volume 1 (Loeb Classical Library) offers a three-part overview of classical Greek mythology and heroic tales, presenting a wide-ranging summary of traditional stories. Composed in a straightforward and unadorned style, it closely adheres to earlier Greek literary sources, preserving their structure and content. As such, it stands as a key reference for understanding ancient Greek perspectives on the world’s origins and the early history of gods and heroes. Though its exact authorship is uncertain, the work has long been associated with Apollodorus of Athens, a follower of the scholar Aristarchus from around 180 BC.
