Product Description
By offering, for the first time in a single edition, complete English translations of Apollodorus' "Library" and Hyginus' "Fabulae" - the two most important surviving 'handbooks' of classical mythography - this volume enables readers to compare the two's versions of the most important Greek and Roman myths. A General Introduction sets the "Library" and "Fabulae" into the wider context of ancient mythography; introductions to each text discuss in greater detail issues of authorship, aim, and influence. A general index, an index of people and geographic locations, and an index of authors and works cited by the mythographers are also included.
