Description

The Loeb Classical Library: Library of History, Volume VIII : Books 16.66–17Remains of a universal chronicle. Diodorus Siculus, Greek historian of Agyrium in Sicily (ca. 8020 BC), 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 Alexanders death (323 BC); history to 54 BC. Of this we have complete Books 15 (Egyptians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Greeks) and Books 1120 (Greek history 480302 BC); and fragments of the rest.
