Europe, Cadmus, Minos, Oedipus, Pelasgus, Asclepius, Helen, the Trojan War, Theseus, the Atreids, Odysseus, and others. Along with the Summary of the Library.
The Library is a mythographical work, published under the name of the Athenian grammarian Apollodorus. However, it is most likely that it does not belong to him, and the problem of identifying the true author remains unresolved.
Equally impossible is the certain dating of the Library, which is generally placed in the 1st or 2nd century AD. It serves as a summary of ancient Greek mythology, which may have been used in schools as an introduction to Greek literature.
It therefore includes a summary of Greek myths and legends about gods and heroes, as they were recorded in the literature of early, classical, and Hellenistic antiquity.
The value of the Library lies in the fact that it is our main source for works that are not preserved today, but mainly in that it accurately transmits the traditions and beliefs of the Greeks regarding the origin and early history of the world and their race.
