Diodorus Siculus, Greek historian of Agyrium in Sicily, ca. Of this we have complete Books IV (Egyptians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Greeks) and Books XIXX (Greek history 480302 BCE); and fragments of the rest. 8020 BCE, 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 Alexander's death (323 BCE); history to 54 BCE.
He is valuable for details unrecorded elsewhere, and as evidence for works now lost, especially writings of Ephorus, Apollodorus, Agatharchides, Philistus, and Timaeus. He was an uncritical compiler, but used good sources and reproduced them faithfully. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Diodorus Siculus is in twelve volumes.
