Bibliothecae libri tres, by Apollodorus of Athens, is a comprehensive handbook of Greek mythology and heroic legends, presented in three books. Written in Greek, this work is an invaluable resource for understanding the complex genealogies and stories that form the basis of much of classical literature and art. Apollodorus meticulously recounts the origins of the gods, the exploits of heroes such as Heracles and Jason, and the events surrounding the Trojan War. Despite some gaps and damages in the text, "Bibliotheca" remains an essential text for scholars and enthusiasts seeking a systematic and detailed account of Greek myths and legends.
