Description

The Loeb Classical Library: Library of History, Volume VII : Books 15.20–16.65Remains 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.
