Antiquity’s most influential mythological handbook.

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 ca. 180 BC), 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.

Fun to read, also

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2015

This is a excellent compendium of many popular myths that contains a great deal more information than is normally found about these myths. This is a scholarly source but not a dry one.

Reviewer from San Ramon

Excellent in-depth footnote.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2012

This is a review of Appolodorus "The Library", Loeb edition #121.

I was truly impressed by the level of details and the amount of footnotes provided by Frazer. Frazer has done incredible job in cross reference important point of the text. He meticulously documented other texts (from Homer to Roman writers to 18th century writers; he even refenced other cultures) in which the same or related stories appeared. I would use this book as a starting point to study the Greek mythology. From here, based on his footnotes, you can easily branch out to other text to go deeper into the subject. Invaluable!

Covers all the myths, but not ingratiating

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2018

Covers all the big myths, but the writing isn't that involving. Just seems like a "Just the facts, Ma'am" kind of list of myths.

My wife used this book to do the family tree of the Greek gods. It worked great. A lot of useful information.
