4.0 out of 5 stars The basics translated
A good solid, word for word translation of Apollodorus's collection of classical myths. Frazer's references to other similar tales is a great resource for folklorists and classics, both advanced and beginning scholars. The dry, simple text reflects the economy of the original well.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent in-depth footnote., January 9, 2012

This review is from: Apollodorus: The Library, Volume I: Books 1-3.9 (Loeb Classical Library no. 121) (Hardcover)
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!
